Unfortunately for “The Informant!” which was film critics’ favorite opening movie this weekend until now, “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” reviews are in, and so far critics unanimously agree that it’s a great film. This animated film directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller is sure to pull in some big bucks at the box office this weekend. I predict it will take over as number one in ticket sales, knocking Tyler’s Perry’s latest flick out of the top spot.

Last week “I Can Do Bad All By Myself” pulled in $23.4 million, and the next biggest earner was animated sci-fi flick “9,” which came in a distant second with  $10.7 million. “Inglourious Basterds” is still holding onto its spot in the top three with $6.1 million.  I guess not many people wanted to go to the movies last weekend. Too bad you can’t get a short term loan just for a movie ticket.
