The romantic comedy starring Jennifer Aniston “He’s Just Not That Into You” has managed to top the United States box office for the weekend.

The production, whose cast also includes Scarlett Johansson and which revolves in a Sex and the City manner around the lives of a group of 20 and 30 years old women who are trying to draw up the rules and guidelines of dating, made $27.5 million within its debut week-end.

The movie, based on a best-selling book that was inspired by the aforementioned Sex and the City, outran both kidnap thriller „Taken” and animated thriller „Coraline,” which scored the third position at the box office during the week-end.

„Coraline,” starring Dakota Fanning who lends her voice to the main character, an 11-year-old girl who has recently moved into the Pink Palace with her parents, was adapted from a novel by Neil Gaiman and accounts for the first stop-motion feature ever made in 3-D.

As for „Taken,” starring Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace and Olivier Rabourdin, it has managed to amaze critics by being a straight-forward product of its genre, lacking all the elements that try to force a movie into really „thrilling” but always failing miserably.

The fourth position was swiped by Steve Martin’s sequel to “The Pink Panther,” a movie that has come in poor reviews by virtue of Martin’s portrayal of detective Jacques Clouseau, who comes across as sort of a clown, while the fifth most watched film this week-end was former number one “Paul Blart: Mall Cop.”

As for the sixth position, it was occupied by sci-fi thriller “Push,” which also stars Dakota Fanning as a clairvoyant running away from a secret organization, with the production having earned $10.2m.
