Box Office Gets Smart, Doesn't Feel Love

Steve Carell's
Get Smart topped the weekend box office with a $39.2 million opening, well exceeding its hoped-for haul. Meanwhile,
Mike Myers'
The Love Guru - which was derided by at least one critic as "one of the worst films of the year" - fell way, way ("Way!") shy of projections, placing No. 4 with a mere $14 mil.
Rounding out the weekend's top five were
Kung Fu Panda ($21.7 mil), which I'm quite literally just about to watch with my sons at the Cape Cod Cinema;
The Incredible Hulk ($21.6 mil, now just a few mil shy of the original
Hulk's
overall take) and
The Happening ($10 mil).

Love Guru? Share in comments! -
