The lowbrow comedy spoof "Epic Movie" opened at No. 1 at the weekend box office in North America, while several newly minted Oscar nominees enjoyed solid sales, according to studio estimates issued on Sunday.
"Epic Movie," one of four new wide releases in the marketplace, earned about $19.2 million since opening Friday, exceeding industry expectations.
The film, which spoofs such movies as "The Da Vinci Code" and "Snakes on a Plane," was released by 20th Century Fox, a unit of News Corp. The studio said the youth-skewing comedy cost in the low-$20 million range to make.
