Ashton won big time at the box office this weekend. His animated flick Open Season debuted at number one, bringing in $23 million, and his other film, The Guardian, came in second. Score for Ashton, and a big score for Sony! Here's more:
Sony scored a record 11th movie debuting at No. 1 this year with "Open Season," featuring the voice of Lawrence as a domesticated bear uprooted from his cozy home and hurled into the wild, where he's befriended by a slick-talking deer (Kutcher).
"Open Season" was the debut release from Sony Pictures Animation, a unit the studio hopes to establish as a regular producer of digital cartoons alongside such industry pioneers as Pixar Animation and DreamWorks Animation.
"It's a great first step," said Yair Landau, president of Sony Pictures Digital. "It takes years and multiple films to build a brand, and certainly we'd like audiences to think of us in the pantheon."
Who knew Ashton would be such a power house at the box office. He may not have broken any serious sales records but it's still impressive to take over the top two spots. Congrats Ashton! More pics of adorable Ashton walking the red carpet for The Guardian so read more

Boo.
1i saw the guardian...it was good!!
2i saw the guardian...it was good!!
3He has pretty eyes.
4I want to see both films! I'm glad the ratings are up on them.
5Ok, I can't get my mind past this awful hair and those crazy shoes.
6Cool for him, altho I don't think he can be credited for the success of an animated movie. The Guardian looks good.
"Like MySpace, only more arrogant"
7He looks good here but his voice IRRITATES me!!!!
8that suit looks so ill-fitting.
9The Guardian was awesome. I loved it. If anyone remembers what the older woman said about wrinkles and getting older, please let me know. I have been trying so hard to remember that and can't. It was an awesome statement! This Kevin Costner reminded me a lot of The Bodyguard Kevin. Yeah, we were helping contribute to that one and two spot. My kids were in seeing Open Season while we saw The Guardian
10I find his voice to be kind of cute. And when he starts yelling that adorable MidWestern twang comes out big time, lol.
Yeah, I wouldn't give him credit for an animated film. Most of the critics say that The Guardian is decent...just a bit too long. Good for Ashton, I like him.
11I thought the suit looked dorky too, or its the way he's standing, something;s wrong.

12I can't wait to see both!.. he's such a doll =)
13He seems to always look uncomfortable in posed photos. I was suprised when I read he was a model you think he would've learned something.
Jen76, yeah what is with those shoes? They need buckles! lol
14I do want to see this movie, forgot to write that part.
But I REALLY want to see The Departed. Weird title though I wonder if one of them is dead or something! lol The trailers make me more confused, which is a good thing since I hate when you have the movie figured out before you even see it.
15Aw, I think he looks cute here.
16Love Ashton, hate those weird pointy-toed shoes he's wearing.
17those are some long, pointy shoes he's sportin' there
18i love animated movies, so i am super ready to go see this...and the guardian too
Congrats to Ashton for #1 & #2!
19hmmm never heard of these films, but ill check them out
20yay! I want to see both of these movies
21all the guys seem to going for the dapper look.
