With Wimpy following Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, Tooth Fairy and Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, Fox has cemented its rep as the tween baby-sitter studio. Paramount's 20-something version of the wimp-hero theme, She's Out of My League, held well with a modest 38.5% drop from last weekend to finish fifth. Together, Wimpy and She's Out of My League could forge a new in-person social network: the nerd date movie...
