Sony Pictures Animation’s Cloudy  with a Chance of Meatballs stormed the North American box office  this weekend with a solid $30.1 million in ticket sales, according to studio  estimates Sunday. 
Playing in both 3D and standard  format, Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s animated adventure scored an average of  $9,651 per theater at 3,119 locations. The film follows an inventor who faces  the consequences of his latest invention: a device that converts water into  food.

Directed by Steven Soderbergh (above, lower photo) and written by Scott Z. Burns (from Kurt Eichenwald&#8217;s  book on the true story of executive-turned-whistleblower Mark Whitacre), The Informant! was recently screened out of the competition at the 2009 Venice Film Festival.
Matt Damon, who gained about 30 lbs. for the role (and who still looks nothing like Whitacre), stars as the high-ranking executive informant (and embezzler) who gets  agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland in big trouble with the U.S. government. 
Also in the Informant! cast: Lucas Carroll, Eddie Jemison, and Rusty Schwimmer.
The Informant! opens in the US on Sept. 18.
