Box Office: Carell & Co. Outsmart the Guru

Looks like enough people were craving the silly fun of an updated Maxwell Smart story this weekend, making the Steve Carell-Anne Hathaway comedy No. 1 at the box office. The Mike Meyers comedy The Love Guru was expected to show Get Smart some stiff competition during the opening weekend for both movies. Instead, The Love Guru brought in $14 million to Get Smart's $39 million, and failed to crack the top three.

At No. 2 was Kung Fu Panda, which bumped the more recent Incredible Hulk to third place. The Love Guru came in fourth, followed by M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening.

This weekend the crown will most likely go to Pixar's latest (and much-promoted) project, WALL-E about a little robot with the saddest, most endearing "eyes" ever. The action flick Wanted, however, may entice that coveted young male demographic, and will probably do quite well for itself.

    The reviews of The Love Guru keep getting more and more negative. It sounds really awful.

    Might have to check out Get Smart - how are the reviews for it? I keep hearing bad things about the Love Guru as well.

    gigill, definitely check out Get Smart! Buzzsugar and People both gave it good reviews. Smiling I watched it over the weekend and it was very good.
