It was a three-way comedy movie fight for #1, but in the end, The Proposal took the top spot from The Hangover, which held it for over two weeks. The newcomer pulled in an estimated $34 mil, while the runner-up is STILL pulling in solid bank with an estimated $26.8 mil three weeks after it's opened. Warner Bros. must be estatic over their surprise hit. The other newcomer this week, Year One did a little over $20 mil, despite a lot of negative reviews.
Looking at the rest of the list...what else is there to say? Star Tres is still the top grossing title of the year so far, and Terminator Salvation is pretty much done with it's theatrical run. And judging from what's it's done so far, I wouldn't hold my breath for another installment in the franchise...maybe it's for the best.
This Wednesday features the only major release for this week, and it could possible wind up being the highest grossing film this year, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
