'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2' had a sunny weekend at the box office, easily topping other high-profile new movies that opened to disappointing returns.
《美食从天而降2》(Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2)上映首周末票房喜人，轻松战胜其他备受瞩目但成绩不佳的新片，夺得上周末票房榜冠军。
The animated sequel from Sony Corp.'s (SNE, 6758.TO) Sony Pictures Animation grossed $35 million in the U.S. and Canada, outperforming the original 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs' that opened in 2009 to $30.3 million and went on to gross $124.9 million domestically.

(FOXA) Fox Searchlight Pictures bucked the trend, with a strong opening weekend in fourth place, grossing $9.3 million on a movie that cost less than $10 million to make.
