It seemed like 40 year old version had a lot of interest among people I know, myself included, so I'm not shocked it's number one. In fact, its good to see Judd Apatow have theatrical success (if you don't count Anchorman). But I do miss his TV work...

It's been a tough summer for Ewan McGregor. The Island bombs and it looks like Valiant will not be a huge success. He is the voice of the main character. It's way too early to tell, but according to Friday's numbers, it doesn't look to good.

Yeah I know it could have been Gilbert Gottfried as Obi-Wan and it STILL would have made $380 million... probably even more, now that I think about it. Gottfried as a Jedi? Dude thats money in the bank! And think about the groin

I was hoping it'd pull in Wedding Crashers-like numbers, but it's still good to see 40 Year Old Virgin reign supreme.
Hopefully it has the legs Wedding Crashers has been able to produce for the past month or so.

The Island while a flop here is doing pretty good overseas. Its toal boxoffice so far is 98 million dollars.

S. Koreans seem to love those high gloss action flicks.
Glad the movie grew some legs over seas, it isn't a masterpiece but it deserved better than it got.

It'll make a profit after DVDs, pretty much every movie does...

While at the movie theater, I overheard a mom and her 2 kids talking about how bad "Valiant" was. This movie is probably going to have very short legs (plus the critics didn't much like it all that much either).

Disney picked up the film for a small fee, and while big box office is always welcomed, the true performance for the film will be on home video. Theatrical is just a pit stop, much like a JUNGLE BOOK 2 or the HEFFALUMP film.
