“Ender’s Game,” based on the novel by the same name by Orson Scott Card and staring Harrison Ford and Asa Butterfield, led the box office this weekend, bringing in $28 million in it’s first weekend. “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa,” held over strong from last week’s debut, and brought in $20.5 million, and a total of $62.1 million thus far. The star studded “Last Vegas” (with Robert DeNiro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline) came in third with $16.5 million. The first animated film from Reel FX, “Free Birds” opened in fourth with an estimated $16.2 million.

Also worth mentioning, Matthew McConaughey‘s latest film, “Dallas Buyers Club” opened in 9 theaters, with a solid $264,000 (number 20). With a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as awards buzz, Focus will most likely expand wide throughout the month to continue to garner strong word of mouth.
