The Blind Side tackles out the competition

People accept that they want a real heart warming tale to watch that was not falsely advertised as the Sandra Bullock starring film The Blind Side takes out the others. Finishing up the weekend with $20.4 Million, the true story based feature helped deflate the Twilight Saga: New Moon box office monster from it’s top spot reign. At this point it’s easy to argue that the huge base of tween fangirls and their mothers have finished doing a majority of their repeated viewings to let it start to slide. Then again, it’s not too much of a big deal counting that they’ve made a whopping $255 Million in the box office domestically alone.

Brothers managed to wrangle out a little bit of dough, despite the some what scary dramatic feel of the film, as it takes in $9.7 Million. Not much is to be said about the semi-mediocre heist film Armored only wrangles up $6.6 Million and the Robert De Niro starring picture Everybody’s Fine show’s that not everything is fine as it only brings in $4 Million. Here’s the rest of the weekend box office reported below thanks to Box Office Mojo:
