Jennifer Lopez Is The Back Up Plan

Jennifer Lopez wasn't the first choice of most weekend moviegoers.
The star's The Back-Up Plan grossed a not-great, but not-unexpected $12.3 million, per box-office estimates, and settled for second behind the sturdy How to Train Your Dragon ($15 million).
Elsewhere, The Losers looked lost, while Jennifer Aniston left—and joined—the Top 10. More results:
• The Back-Up Plan is Lopez's first major release in five years. The reputedly $35 million romantic comedy opened more like this year's When in Rome than her 2005 hit, Monster-in-Law.
• How to Train Your Dragon was projected as last weekend's surprise winner. But final numbers gave the gold medal to Kick-Ass. This time out, the race isn't close, and its No. 1 finish isn't a shock. The 3D fantasy returns to the top spot for the first time in four weeks.
• After what was considered a so-so start, Dragon is the second-highest-grossing movie of the year to date, with $178 million domestically.
• Kick-Ass ($9.5 million) fell four spots, to fifth place. Still, the un-superhero comedy performed well mid-week, and upped its domestic total a budget-besting $34.9 million.
• After a fourth-place debut, the $25 million, comic-spawned The Losers ($9.6 million) better be hoping it's got some Kick-Ass spunk.
• Aniston's and Gerard Butler's The Bounty Hunter ($1.6 million) fell from the weekend Top 10, but with $62.8 million overall, moved into the yearly Top 10.
• Disney's nature movie Oceans was, pound for pound, the Top 10's biggest movie, grossing $6 million from 1,206 theaters.
