Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is the first animated movie to hit theaters since Disney's low-effort Planes, so the kid market was ready.  None of the other new films really broke out. Rush opened on five screens the week before to try to build buzz. It and Don Jon had positive reviews, but didn't make any bigger a dent than the critically-savaged Baggage Claim.
