The excellent horror/comedy Zombieland deservedly topped the American box-office this passing weekend, with stellar takings of $25 million, off of a modest $23 million budget. Elsewhere, Ricky Gervais comedy The Invention of Lying did better than expected with $7.35 million, but still didn’t exactly bring in the masses; while Drew Barrymore's critically praised directorial debut, Whip It, coined a disappointing $4.85 million - the same as Michael Moore documentary Capitalism: A Love Story. Expect Whip It to show strong legs through word of mouth, though. Zombieland is released here this Friday and is well worth checking out.
