Football drama "The Blind Side" rose to first place at the box office this weekend with $20.4 million.
After settling for second place behind "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" the past two weeks, "Blind Side" showed its legs by dropping only 49 percent and overtaking the vampire phenomenon. "Blind Side," which received mediocre reviews but obtained a rare "A+" rating from CinemaScore moviegoers, has reached a cumulative gross of $129.3 million. It should have no trouble passing "The Proposal's" $164 million total to become Bullock's biggest hit.
The inspiring, based-on-a-true-story film has been gaining fans in the Christian community. Reviewers for Christian publications as well as mega-church pastors have been raving about the Hollywood film, which gives credit to the Christian faith for the good deed performed by the Tuohy family.
With unapologetically Christian characters, “The Blind Side” stars popular actress Sandra Bullock as Leigh Ann Tuohy
