'Warm Bodies' leads weekend box office
On a weekend that Hollywood largely punts to football, Lionsgate's "Warm Bodies" easily led the box office, The Associated Press reports.
The Super Bowl always means a significant slide in movie-going on Sunday -- studios predict a decrease of as much as 70 percent from Saturday to Sunday -- but "Warm Bodies" still lured many teenage fans.
The film is about a zombie whose love for a human redeems him.
Lionsgate, which also released the "Twilight" saga, is calling it a "rom-zom-com" for its mix of humor, romance and the supernatural. The film appealed particularly to females, who made up 60 percent of the audience.
