Weekend Box Office - 9/18-9/20/09

The lone recent family film release ruled over the half dozen or so recent horror releases (not including the artistic horror of Tyler Perry). The Informant! was surprisingly strong, probably due to Matt Damon's presence (doughy though it may be). Love Happens can be too easily turned into a famous TV-14 bumper sticker by wiseacres like me. And Jennifer's Body fell surprisingly flat (even with Ms. Fox showing the girl-on-girl clip on the talk-show circuit this past week).
