LOS ANGELES — “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” was barking up the right tree with moviegoers, who put the Disney comedy at No. 1 for the weekend with a $29 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The top 12 movies hauled in $95.4 million, up 42 percent from the same weekend a year ago, when “The Game Plan” was No. 1 with $16.6 million.
The previous weekend’s No. 1 movie, the DreamWorks-Paramount thriller “Eagle Eye,” slipped to second place with $17.7 million, raising its total to $54.6 million. Sony’s “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist,” starring Michael Cera and Kat Dennings as teens who fall for each other on a wild New York City night, had a sturdy No. 3 debut of $12 million.
