The Weekend Box Office Results 2/1/09

“Taken” has overtaken the box office crown and swiped the weekend sales away from “Paul Blart: Mall Cop“.

“Taken” drew in $24,65,000 in this weekend’s box office, leaving the second spot for Paul Blart. Also new in the theaters is “The Uninvited“, which took third place in it’s first week. “Hotel For Dogs” is in it’s third week and landed the fourth spot, leaving the fifth spot for Clint Eastwood’s flick, “Gran Torino“.

“Taken” stars Liam Neeson as Bryan, an ex-CIA spy and father of kidnapping victim, Kim. Kim and her friend Amanda take a trip to Europe where Amanda gets kidnapped, and subsequently, so does Kim. Amanda dies from a heroin overdose and Kim gets sold into sex slavery.

Bryan tells the kidnappers that if they let his daughter go, he won’t track them down and kill them. Things apparently don’t go as planned, and you can see where this is going.
