While many had high hopes for 9, the computer-animated sci-fi/action film directed by Shane Acker and produced by Tim Burton, however, the actual box office numbers tell a different story. In its opening weekend (as the film debuted last Wednesday on September 9) the release was marked by rather lackluster numbers in terms of box office revenue, taking in a disappointing total of US$10.9 million and coming in second place after Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Bad All by Myself, which took in more than double at US$24 million.

The cumulative total for 9 over its six-day period since its opening has been $15.3 million, barely recouping half of its budget from Relativity Media. Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds held at number 3 with a gross of US$6.5 million this weekend bringing its total to more than US$104.3 worldwide. Nevertheless, Gamer failed to reach the top five totaling less than five million. The fourth movie in the final destination franchise ‘The Final Destination’ clenched the fifth spot with a total of US$5.5 million bringing its total to US$55.
