Friday box-office numbers have rolled in and it looks like a good weekend for one former Cheers bartender. Zombieland, the low-budget Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg horror comedy, bowed with a better-than-expected $9.4 million on Friday. Sony took the second spot as well, with its well-reviewed Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs earning an additional $3.7 million. Disney’s rerelease of audience favorites Toy Story and Toy Story 2 took in $3.2 million on far fewer screens, while the Ricky Gervais comedy The Invention of Lying, starring Jennifer Garner, Jonah Hill, and Tina Fey, also surpassed studio estimates with $2.5 million.
