The Following is courtesy of Box Office Mojo.com:

1 Get Smart$39,155,000 $39,155,000

2 Kung Fu Panda$21,700,000 $155,596,000

3 The Incredible Hulk$21,557,000 $96,476,000

4 The Love Guru$14,000,000 $14,000,000

5 The Happening$10,000,000 $50,267,000

6 Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull$8,414,000 $290,835,000

7 You Don't Mess with the Zohan$7,200,000 $84,055,000

8 Sex and the City$6,465,000 $132,385,000

9 Iron Man$4,002,000 $304,788,000

10 The Strangers$1,949,000 $49,586,000$9

Out of the two comedies that's opened this weekend, Get Smart is the clear winner (and holder of the #1 sopt) with an estimated $39 mil, while The Love Guru opened at #4 with with a dismal $14 million take. Everithing else on the chart speaks for itself. I guess it's a sign that America is either tired of Mike Myers, or by judging from the trailer I seen of it, it just wasn't funny. I wonder if he regrets not making Austin Powers 4...

Next week's offering has Angelina Jolie in the action film Wanted, and Disney and Pixar offers up its latest animated film, Wall-E.

Unless it's Shrek 4, who knows. After this weekend, Myers might not be considered the box office draw he once was.

Good to see Kung Fu Panda is still going strong.

I need to see Get Smart and Wall-E before I ship out next weekend.

Well it's good to see people weren't THAT interested in that awful-looking movie (Love Guru). Yet people shell out cash to see Epic Movie.

The Love Guru looked like a big turd and performed like one.

Hallenback, it's been a while since I've seen a box office thread. Welcome back.

Although unsettling that Love Guru and Zohan are on the list, at least they didn't reach the heights that Meet the Spartans got to. AWFUL. MOVIE.

Get Smart looks really funny, Love Guru not as much. I'm all for stupid comedy, but there is a limit. Wanted looks pretty dumb as well. "Hey guys, what if we made the Matrix, but-get this-NOT in a computer! Also, let's have cliche lines like 'I was just like you, but then I met her'. That way they don't know if it's romantic or an action movie!"

Im glad Get Smart stomped The Love Guru. I reviewed it in my blog, it was suprisingly very funny and filled with smart humor.

Maybe The Happening debuted at a lot of theatres with expensive tickets?

Maybe The Love Guru was only on the chart because some idiot spent 14,000,000 on one ticket? I can only hope...

Get Smart and the Incredible Hulk were pretty good, did you see those before making that assumption though?

Yeah, I'm planning to see that one sometime in the near future. Also, I plan on watching The Strangers and The Happening when they get to DVD.

Other than those few, there's nothing else I'd want to watch.

Mike Myers has nothing left in him. He's exacerbated all of his ethnic and midget jokes.

Saw The Hulk, much better than the first one.

For some reason I find myself wanting to see Wall-E.

I think starring the Rock against Steve Carrell was genious. Exactly the role to get him out of the "Vin Diesel is a better actor." stereotype.

Enjoy it while you can, because Wall-E is going to destroy the Box Office next week.

I wouldn't mind seeing The Love Guru. I like Mike Meyers, and I'm interested to see how Justin Timberlake plays a wacky role.

They kept playing ads for it during the NHL playoffs, and I got somewhat interested in it. From what I kept seeing, it just seemed to be worse and worse of a movie.

Gotta disagree with you there. I saw Get Smart on opening night and it was probably the best movie I'd seen all year.

The Love Guru is just another stupid attempt of Mike Myers trying too hard to be funny. Seriously, the guy just isn't funny.....All he does is overly use a stereotypical Indian theme, and he's back at his usual ridiculous "Oh I'm so funny" acting style. I'm starting to think the guy is a narcissist. Really...

I've heard it's actually pretty funny.
