Box office captivated with ‘Obsessed’

April 27th, 2009 at 6:58 am by Laff at the Movies under Entertainment

The thriller “Obsessed” topped last week’s number one “17 Again” by more than $17 million in the last weekend before the summer movie season begins.  The long delayed drama “The Soloist” (originally scheduled to release in November) opened in 4th, while “Fighting” was just behind “17 Again” in 3rd and the DisneyNature documentary “earth” was a close 5th.

The four new movies helped turn around a two week decline at the box office: the top 12 combined for nearly $104 million at the box office, a 3.6% increase from last weekend.
