Beyonce's 'Obsessed' #1 at the box office

Beyonce Knowles has a new #1 on the charts--the box office charts, that is.

According to Entertainment Weekly, "Obsessed" raked in $28.5 million over the weekend to finish ahead of Disney's "17 Again," which brought in $11.7 million during its second weekend.

Finishing a very close third with $11.4 million was the mixed martial arts drama "Fighting," starring Channing Tatum. Jamie Foxx's true-story tale of a musical prodigy turned schizophrenic and homeless, "The Soloist," took a hard hit, earning a disappointing $9.7 million.

Box office success aside, Twitterers offered their own rave reviews of each film.
