Warm Bodies Zombie-Walks to #1 in Meager Super Bowl Weekend Box Office

There's a reason last weekend was called Super Bowl weekend and not Go See a Movie weekend, and that's because everyone watched the Super Bowl and not a lot of people went to see a movie.

Warm Bodies landed in first place during the light three days, earning $19.5 million. Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer star in the zombie romantic comedy, based on the book by Isaac Marion.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters dropped from first to second this weekend, in its second week in theaters. The film earned $9.2 million, bringing its total to $34.5 million.

After weeks in limited release, the Oscar-nominated Silver Linings Playbook has opened wide and is now ranking in the Top 5. The film earned $8.1 million over the three days, for a total of $80.4 million.

Two Jessica Chastain films, Mama and Zero Dark Thirty, round out the top five. The two movies grossed $6.7 and $5.3 million, respectively.
