Box Office: The Proposal Sweeps Audiences Off Their Feet

June 22, 2009

The Proposal, starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, took the box office by storm over the weekend earning $34.1 million and securing the No. 1 spot. This was Bullock's best opening ever! Woo-hoo!

Both The Hangover and Up continued doing good business coming in second and third place respectively. Jack Black and Michael Cera's primitive buddy comedy, Year One, came in at No. 4 earning an estimated $20.2 million. The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 rounded out the top five.

Oh now I really wanna see it. The previews looked a little "rentable" but since all you guys say its good, I'll make the trek down to the theater.

I'm glad Sandra finally realized that people love her in the rom-com genre.

This movie was definately a must-see! One of the funniest romantic comedies I've seen in a while. Ryan and Sandra were both terrific in their roles. I dragged my boyfriend to see it with me and he was cracking up throughout the entire movie! :]
