Get Smart gets a surprising #1

Although the reviews for Steve Carell's new comedy Get Smart were shakey it did not stop the film from earning a decent $39.2 million at the box office and getting the number 1 spot on its opening weekend. The film co-starring Anne Hathaway is based off of a 60s sitcom with the same title. Mike Meyer's Love Guru film however did not fair so well. It landed in the number 4 spot and earned only $14 million in its first weekend.

Holding onto the number 2 and 3 spots are Kung Fu Panda and The Incredible Hulk while the Kit Kettridge film opened in limited release this weekend and still took in over $200,000 in the five theaters that it debuted. The film shows promise for its opening on July 2nd nation wide although most speculate Will Smith's Hancock will be the big film of the July 4th weekend.
