The comedic horror film 'Zombieland' -- starring Woody Harrelson and 'Adventure Land' actor Jesse Eisenberg -- marched in to take the No. 1 spot at the weekend box office, grossing $25 million.

This is Harrelson's biggest movie opening of his career. 'Zombieland' follows the journey of two men who have discovered a way to survive in a world overrun by zombies.

This put the animated film 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs' at No. 2 following a two-week reign at No. 1. The children's movie pulled in $16.7 million this weekend.

Coming in at No. 3 was the 3-D reissue of the Pixar cartoons, "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2," making $12.5 million.

'The Invention of Lying' -- starring British comedian Ricky Gervais, Jennifer Garner, Rob Lowe and Tina Fey -- made a modest $7.4 million, putting it at No. 4 at the box office.

Rounding out the top five films of the weekend was Bruce Willis' thriller 'Surrogates', grossing $7.3 million.
