District 9, a low-budget picture with no stars and a first-time director, practically lapped the weekend box office field earning an estimated $37 million, while Hayao Miyazaki scored his biggest U.S. opening ever as Ponyo opened in 927 theaters and earned a respectable $3.5 million.
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra dropped 59% in its second frame, which is not a bad showing for a heavily-promoted big budget action film these days. The Hasbro-based film earned an estimated $22.5 million and brought its domestic cumulative to nearly $100 million, while Warner Bros./New Line’s female-centric The Time-Traveler’s Wife proved to be an excellent bit of counter-programming as it earned a solid $19.2 million and finished in third place.
