'Taken 2' rules at the weekend box office

Other debuts, including 'Frankenweenie,' fizzle

All hail Liam Neeson: King of the action movie, at least for now. Neeson's Taken 2 was the undisputed champion of the weekend box office in the U.S., taking in a whopping $50 million. Movie goers love their Taken movies, don't they? I suspect Taken 3 is already being written.

Sadly, the news is anything but good for Tim Burton. His latest effort, the stop-motion animated film Frankenweenie, only managed a (weak) fifth place finish. I didn't see either of these films, but the one I did see, I loved.
