Jonas Brothers’ edges out ‘Madea’ on Friday at the box office

It may come up short of the $31 million Miley Cyrus’ 3-D movie bowed to, but Jonas Brothers: 3-D Concert Experience did come out on top of Friday’s estimates with a $4.8 million opening, on tap for a $20 million weekend. That was just enough to unseat last weekend’s top dog, Madea Goes to Jail ($4.6 million), which will likely top $60 million after just its second week. Friday’s third-place spot went to Slumdog Millionaire ($3.2 million), on pace for a nice post-Oscar bump thanks in part to Fox Searchlight adding 700 runs this frame. And fourth-place Taken ($2.85 million) is set to break $100 million after just four weeks in release.

1. Jonas Brothers: 3-D Concert Experience — $4.8 million
2. Madea Goes To Jail — $4.6 million
3. Slumdog Millionaire –$3.2 million
4. Taken — $2.9 million
5. He’s Just Not That Into You — $1.9 million
6. Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun Li — $1.7 million
7. Confessions Of A Shopaholic — $1.4 million
8. Paul Blart: Mall Cop — $1.3 million
9. Fired Up — $1.3 million
10. Coraline 3-D — $1.1 million
