LOS ANGELES — A sci-fi love story has given way to an earthbound romance at the box office, livening up typically slow times at theaters over Super Bowl weekend. Released by Sony's Screen Gems banner, "Dear John" debuted as the No. 1 movie with $32.4 million, knocking off "Avatar" after seven weekends in first place, according to studio estimates Sunday. "Avatar" slipped to No. 2 with $23.6 million, raising its domestic total to $630.1 million. Directed by James Cameron, 20th Century Fox's "Avatar" surpassed his own "Titanic," which had held the domestic revenue record at $600.8 million. Factoring in today's higher admission prices, however, "Avatar" has sold fewer tickets than "Titanic." The weekend's other new wide release, Lionsgate's spy story "From Paris With Love," opened at No. 3 with $8.1 million. The movie stars John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers as CIA men trying to crack a terrorist plot. Fox Searchlight's acclaimed country-music tale "Crazy Heart" expanded from narrow release and broke into the top 10, coming in at No. 8 with $3.7 million. Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal have acting Oscar nominations for the film, which follows a boozy country star trying to turn his life around. While "Avatar" features a human-alien romance light-years away, "Dear John" centers on a long-distance love story between a soldier (Channing Tatum) and his sweetheart (Amanda Seyfried) back home. "Dear John" had a record opening for Super Bowl weekend, topping the $31.1 million debut for "Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert" in 2008. The movie was based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, whose Hollywood adaptations include "The Notebook" and "A Walk to Remember." Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

By M.S. Enkoji | The Sacramento BeeFor about two hours, laugh, weep, shiver with fear, feel your adrenaline pumping — all for $10, preferably in a comfy chair, maybe with a barrel of buttered popcorn radiating warmth in your lap. Sound like a bargain? In a downturned economy, going to the movies is an enduring entertainment option, even as family budgets lop off vacations, lavish dining and $80 bluejeans. Still one of the cheapest out-of-home entertainment venues, movie theaters are ringing up profits with the proliferation of premium technology, such as IMAX and 3-D, and because movie-going — even during the the Great Depression — has always been driven by product: movies that people want to see. "Because of the low cost, people don't feel bad about going to the movies. But only if they're interested in them," said Warren Miller, an analyst with Morningstar who tracks Regal Entertainment Group and Cinemark, two of the country's biggest theater chains. "That's why the movies, at least theoretically, are recession-proof," he said. At United Artists Arden Fair 6 recently, Jennifer McLaughlin and two friends perused the offerings on a recent evening. "Compared to other things, it's not that much for entertainment," said McLaughlin, the 31-year-old mother of two. For a family outing, the bill could come to $50, she said. She feeds the family first so they don't have to buy snacks. "That's over the line," she said. She and her friends finally settled on "Youth in Revolt," a comedy. While customers abandoned other retail businesses, forcing them to shrink inventory, lay off workers or file for bankruptcy in 2009, moviegoers plunked down a record $10 billion at the box office, a 10 percent boost nationwide from the year before.
