"I Love You, Man," opened with 18 million dollars in ticket sales over the weekend, making it the second top grosser, according to industry tracker Exhibitor Relations.
This buddy comedy, or "bromance," exploits wedding tensions as metrosexual brideroom Paul Rudd is befriended by wild man Jason Segel.
Third place at the box office went to another new release, "Duplicity," a caper film featuring Julia Roberts and Clive Owen as romantically entangled corporate spies. It racked up 14.4 million dollars in ticket sales.
Last week's number one grosser, the adventure and science fiction family flick "Race To Witch Mountain" slipped to fourth place with 13 million dollars in sales. The Disney production was inspired by the 1975 "Escape to Witch Mountain."
Behind it in fifth place with 6.75 million dollars in ticket sales was "Watchmen," which follows the lives of superheroes in an alternate 1985 America in Director Zack Snyder's faithful adaptation of Allan Moore's classic graphic novel.
"The House on the Left," a remake of a 1972 Wes Craven horror flick, scored 5.9 million dollars at the box office, which put it in sixth place.
Seventh was the thriller "Taken" with 4.1 million dollars, ahead of multi-Oscar winner "Slumdog Millionaire," which pulled down 2.7 million dollars over the weekend.
Comedy "Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail," dropped to ninth place with 2.5 million dollars in box office sales, followed by "Coraline" (2.1 million).
