Up tops box office for weekend

Up trounced everyone at the box office this weekend with an excellent $68 million take. The rest of the field, however, was disappointing. Drag Me to Hell, despite good reviews, couldn’t get past $17 million, while Night at the Museum fell more than anticipated. Same goes for Star Trek and Terminator. Star Trek did become the first film of 2009 to top the $200 million mark.
