Couples Retreat Tops Weekend Box Office Earning $35.3 Million

People everywhere flocked to the theaters to watch Couples Retreat, a comedy about four couples that head to an island therapy resort. I can’t say I blame them, this movie looks hilarious. Zombieland slipped to the number 2 spot this weekend earning $15 million, while the animated movies fell to number 3 and 4.

I’m a little surprised Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story hasn’t done so well at the box office, it’s only made $9.0 million since being released three weeks ago. Looks like America may be growing tired of his anti-government movies.

Here’s a look at estimated weekend box office ticket sales Oct. 9th through Oct. 11th according to Box Office Mojo:

1. Couples Retreat: $35.3 million

2. Zombieland: $15.0 million

3. Coudy With a Chance of Meatballs: $12.0 million

4. Toy Story/Toy Story 2 (3D): $7.6 million

5. Paranormal Activity: $7.0 million

6. Surrogates: $4.1 million

7. The Invention of Lying: $3.3 million

8. Whip It: $2.8 million

9. Capitalism: A Love Story: $2.7 million

10. Fame (2009): $2.5 million
