LOS ANGELES (AP) - The undead are livening up the box office. Woody Harrelson's horror comedy "Zombieland" has opened as the No. 1 movie with $25 million.


The family flick "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" held up well again, slipping from first place to second with $16.7 million. The animated comedy raised its total to $82.4 million.


A flurry of new wide releases hit theaters. A double-feature reissue of "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2" in 3-D came in at No. 3 with $12.5 million.


The comedy "The Invention of Lying" with Ricky Gervais (jer-VAYS') was No. 4 with $7.4 million.


Finishing in a tie for No. 6 with $4.85 million each were Drew Barrymore's roller-derby tale "Whip It" and Michael Moore's documentary "Capitalism: A Love Story."

movies are still making big hits despite of the recession and holding back of consumers on expenses. there may be a certain appeal of movies that make people to open up their wallets and spend some money for them. movie releases still make millions of dollars in the box office. this may be a bright spot in the gloomy economy.
