Paul Blart made $4.2 million this weekend increasing the film's total gross to $133.6 million.

Taken is top film this past weekend

Contrary to what was stated in our previous post, Taken was the top earner at the theaters this weekend. The film made approximately $24.7 million, which is impressive since films tend to fare poorly during Super Bowl weekends. The film features Liam Neeson on the trail of his kidnapped daughter. The second highest grossing film this weekend was Paul Blart: Mall Cop, still holding on near the top.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop is top movie this weekend

This past weekend, the film, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, was the top grossing movie. The movie features star of the TV Show "King of Queens," Kevin James, portraying a mall security guard. I have not seen this movie yet, but I will eventually because I am a fan of comedies. Kevin James has also been seen in films such as I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and Hitch.
