District 9, made for just $30 million, scored solid reviews and posted opening weekend numbers above what was expected. The sci-fi thriller about aliens stranded on Earth road a tidal wave of positive pre-release buzz into first place, pushing
G.I. Joe into second in its second weekend in release. The weekend's other big release,
The Time Traveler's Wife, did just about as anticipated, playing mainly to female audiences and finishing in third. But Summit Entertainment can't be happy about their latest entry in the box office derby.

High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens, didn't even break into the Top 10. Playing in 2,100+ theaters,
Bandslam brought in a mere $2.3 million.
