Box Office: 10,000 B.C. Has a Mammoth of a Weekend
The lion's share of box office dollars went to director Roland Emmerich's 10,000 B.C. which earned an estimated $35 million. This same weekend last year saw the outrageous success of 300, but while 10,000 B.C.'s opening comes nowhere near the debut weekend of that blockbuster, it still fulfilled studio expectations, Variety reports.

Box Office: Semi-Pro Semi-Beats Out Competition
Despite earning the top spot at the box office, the predictable laughs in Will Ferrell's Semi-Pro only earned $15.3 million over the weekend. This is considered a disappointing sum, especially compared to opening weekends of other Ferrell films like Talladega Nights and Blades of Glory. Variety reports that this underwhelming performance by the basketball comedy may have been due to mediocre reviews and an R-rating.
Semi-Pro: Funny Little Shorts, Same Old Jokes
By now the Will Ferrell formula is apparent: Find some job or sport or fashion era that has loads of inherent humor, give the main character some insurmountable challenge to face, and . . .
Will's Semi-Professional Premiere
Will Ferrell didn't have many of his frat pack buddies at the premiere of Semi-Pro last night, but he did manage to rally together quite a team. Kristen and Dax were super smiley about having their photo taken together, while Amanda Bynes looked cute as usual in her LBD. Not surprisingly, Will stole the show — he got decked out in an oversized suit he claims to have borrowed from Shaq.

Will Ferrell Is Searching for Dinosaurs
Fresh off the lukewarm reception and box office numbers of Semi-Pro, Will Ferrell is already hard at work on his next project — a remake of Land of the Lost. It looks like he got himself a pretty great hat to help shield him from the sun baring down on the La Brea Tar Pits. While some of his shtick is a little predictable at this point, it should be fun to see how he brings this story back to life.
The Bank Job is Number One at UK Box Office
The Bank Job has taken the number one spot at the UK box office, beating Will Ferrell's Semi Pro which came in at number two.
The heist movie, about a hushed up bank robbery in London in the 1970s, stars Jason Statham and Saffron Burrows, who were living it up in New York at the beginning of the week at a screening of their film at Bryant Park Hotel.
The film is based on a genuine Baker Street robbery which took place in September 1971 and was kept out of the public eye thanks to a government cover up which prevented the British press from referring to it.
