Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 easily lead the box office this weekend, with a take of $35 million, Box Office Mojo is reporting. Although it made less than some were expecting–tracking indicated the movie might reach the $40 million mark–, it still beat the 2009 opening of the original. The bad news for Cloudy 2 is that it wasn’t nearly as loved by critics as the first film, with a freshness rating of 58% over at Rotten Tomatoes. Still, audiences gave the movie a CinemaScore of A-, and with virtually no competition for the family market until Free Birds opens in November, Cloudy 2 could have staying power.
