LOS ANGELES — Will Ferrell’s dastardly schemes continue to succeed, with the animated “Megamind” staying at the top of the box office.
The DreamWorks Animation 3-D comedy, featuring Ferrell as the voice of a super villain, made just over $30 million in its second week in theaters, according to Sunday studio estimates. It’s now made nearly $90 million total. “Megamind” also features the voices of Brad Pitt, Tina Fey and Jonah Hill.
Opening in second place is the 20th Century Fox action thriller “Unstoppable,” starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine as railroad workers trying to stop a massive runaway train. It made $23.5 million. Last week’s No. 2 film, “Due Date,” fell to the third spot with $15.5 million. The Warner Bros. comedy features Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis as opposites stuck together on a cross-country road trip. It’s now made $59 million in two weeks.
