'Friday the 13th' kills competition

February 15, 2009 Warners also copped the domestic boxoffice's silver medal as ensemble comedy "He's Just Not That Into You" dropped a modest 29% from opening Friday-Sunday grosses for an estimated $23.4 million over the long weekend and an 11-day cume of $58.8 million. However, the frame's two other wide openers disappointed as Disney's material-girl comedy "Confessions of a Shopaholic" fetched $17.3 million for fifth place and Sony's political thriller "The International" collected just $10.7 million for eighth. Collectively, the Presidents Day weekend registered a whopping $224 million in a record performance that surpassed last year's holiday haul by 34% and 2007's then-record tally by 19%, according to Nielsen EDI.
