Box Office: Carell & Co. Outsmart the Guru

Jun 23 2008 - 5:30am


Looks like enough people were craving the silly fun of an updated Maxwell Smart story this weekend, making the Steve Carell-Anne Hathaway comedy No. 1 at the box office [1]. The Mike Meyers comedy The Love Guru [2] was expected to show Get Smart some stiff competition [3] during the opening weekend for both movies. Instead, The Love Guru brought in $14 million to Get Smart [4]'s $39 million, and failed to crack the top three.

At No. 2 was Kung Fu Panda [5], which bumped the more recent Incredible Hulk [6] to third place. The Love Guru came in fourth, followed by M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening [7].

This weekend the crown will most likely go to Pixar's latest (and much-promoted) project, WALL-E [8] about a little robot with the saddest, most endearing "eyes" ever. The action flick Wanted [9], however, may entice that coveted young male demographic, and will probably do quite well for itself.
