Yes, vampires are hot. But zombies are not exactly dead.

The zombie comedy Zombieland had a nifty box-office weekend, topping all films—and its budget, with an estimated $25 million Friday-Sunday.

Drew Barrymore's Whip It, the star's directing debut on roller-derby wheels, got lost in the pack, opening in sixth place with $4.9 million, while the Toy Story franchise's comeback clicked, grossing $12.5 million for its 3D double-feature bill.

Stay tuned for the complete Top 10 standings.
