Box Office Report
In box office news this week, Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler’s joint venture “Funny People” put them both on top again. The counter-programing against all the family fare that is out right now may have helped propel the R-Rated film to success despite its garnering mixed reviews.
The other new movie this week was the kid’s film “Aliens in the Attic,” which only managed to make $7.8 million (putting it in fifth place). The new children’s film’s box office may have been hindered by the debut of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” in IMAX theaters.
Until this weekend, IMAX has been exclusively playing “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” Many box office analysts had been predicting that the Potter film would get a boost in its numbers from people who have been waiting to see it in this format. Since it jumped back up past last week’s number one movie “G-Force,” it looks like they were right.
Here is a list of the top ten movies this weekend, courtesy of the IMDB:
1.) “Funny People” $23.4 million (New)
2.) “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” $17.7 million ($255 million)
3.) “G-Force” $17.1 million ($66.5 million)
4.) “The Ugly Truth” $13 million ($54.5 million)
5.) “Aliens in the Attic” $7.8 million (New)
6.) “Orphan” $7.25 million ($26.8 million)
7.) “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” $5.3 million ($182 million)
8.) “The Hangover” $5.08 million ($256 million)
9.) “The Proposal” $4.85 million ($149 million)
10.) “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” $4.6 million ($388 million)
