Science Fiction Thriller: Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston: NEW YORK, N.Y. - The dystopian science fiction thriller "Elysium" topped the weekend box office with $30.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, enough to beat three newcomers, including the Jennifer Aniston comedy "We're the Millers." , according to Winnipeg Free Press. But "Elysium" was able to come out on top in a crowded weekend, with three other new wide releases: the R-rated Warner Bros. comedy "We're the Millers," starring Jason Sudeikis and Aniston $26.6 million over the weekend, a strong $38 million since opening Tuesday night ; Disney's "Cars" spinoff "Planes" $22.5 million and Fox's fantasy sequel "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters" $14.6 million over the weekend, $23.5 million since Wednesday .

It couldn't match Blomkamp's previous film, the $30 million "District 9," which opened with $37.4 million in August 2009. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
