By Wow, folks really like them some Taken. Even if it’s the third film in the franchise and Neeson is way too old to be doing any of this, it still rakes in quite a large sum. Making over $40 million last weekend, it blew everything else out of the water during the quiet weekend. Coming in at second is Selma with $11 million, and rounding out the top three is Into the Woods with $9 million.
Hit the jump for the box office performances for the January 9-11 weekend. And, sigh, it’s still January.
