BigHollywood has a theory for why Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs continues its' domination of the box office:
Optimism.
While much more high-profile and adult films (i.e. Soderbergh's The Informant! and even the Diablo Cody-penned Jennifer's Body) were released, they still pale compared to the CGI film based on a children's book.
The BH piece is truly no more than a general opinion, but it seems like an increasingly accurate one even with this weekend's other releases: Fame, Surrogates and even Pandorum.

People like to reminesce of their childhood memories, so when a movie like this comes out and it looks like fun for both children and adults its bound to be a box office hit.
Just wait until "Where the Wild Things Are" comes out :P - 2 years ago
