Box Office Results: G.I. Joe Crushes Julia Child

Box Office Results

Title Weekend Total Analysis
G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra $56.2M $56.2M About 1/2 of Transformers 2's opening weekend take, but a shot in the arm to August box-office doldrums.
Julie and Julia $20.1M $20.1M Cooking dramedy did decently in spite of just-so-so reviews.
G-Force $9.8M $86.1M Animated family fare beats Potter two weeks in a row.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince $8.8M $273.8M Potter running out of gas but will likely pass up Up as #2 earner for 2009.
Funny People $7.9M $40.4M Large Week 2 dropoff as this Apatow movie quickly fades from memory.

Bomb!Bomb of the Week: For the past two weeks you couldn't watch TV without seeing an ad for A Perfect Getaway but it didn't matter. It made just $5.7M and had a lousy per-screen average. And here's the weird thing: it stars Milla Jovovich and apparently it doesn't suck.

    I think the timing of A Perfect Getaway might've hurt it. CBS just finished airing a three-month miniseries called Harper's Island that (as far as I can tell) had basically the same plot/setup. Although, I'm waiting for DVD so I can skip the goat-skinning scene that's apparently in that movie. Yuck!

    Thanks for adding the anonymous comments, by the way ;)
