Taking a little preview of what’s to come at our weekly box office roundup, here’s what happened this weekend. If you’ve been reading the site, you definitely know about ‘Iron Man’ crushing its competition. So let’s not talk about that. But if we take a look at number two, we see ‘Made of Honor’ still made a decent $15.5 million. I say decent, because with a $40 million budget, Columbia Pictures can’t be too happy about it. A metacritic.com score of 3.7 didn’t help and probably got some girls to join their boyfriend to see ‘Iron Man’ instead.
Others may have chosen to see ‘Baby Mama,’ which was received a little better by the critics last week. It made another $10 million this weekend, making it profitable if you don’t consider marketing.
We already saw how ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ was going to have better legs in our weekly box office roundup. And it managed to top ‘Harold & Kumar 2′ in its third weekend, with a big $6 million. ‘Harold & Kumar 2′ is probably having its last good week, also doing $6 million. Not that New Line Cinema should be sad about it. The movie already did twice their budget of $12 million and is tracking to do double of what its prequel did.
