Warner Bros' big screen update of the 1960s t Smart' had an impressive debut weekend with $39.2, to make it the weekend's number one movie -- while 'The Love Guru' was nowhere to be found in the weekend's top three movies.
In fact, Paramount may need some therapy of its own after 'The Love Guru' debuted in fourth spot with just $14 million and flopped right out of the gate. Behind movies such as 'Kung Fu Panda', which is in its third week', and 'The Incredible Hulk', in its second week. The Mike Myers movie has been bashed by critics for being 'unfunny', with the New York Times even saying it is "downright antifunny" and "an experience that makes you wonder if you will ever laugh again."
The flop brings Myers' run of blockbusters, with the three "Shrek" flicks and his 'Austin Powers' sequels, to an end. He co-wrote the script and was a producer on the movie. Somewhat ironic that a spy comedy, 'Get Smart', outdid the master of the spy comedy -- Austin Powers himself, Mike Myers.
Here are the complete top ten for the weekend box office:
1. Get Smart, $39.2 million.
2. Kung Fu Panda, $21.7 million.
3. The Incredible Hulk, $21.6 million.
4. The Love Guru, $14 million.
5. The Happening, $10 million.
6. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, $8.4 million.
7. You Don't Mess With the Zohan, $7.2 million.
8. Sex and the City, $6.5 million.
9. Iron Man, $4 million.
10. The Strangers, $1.9 million.
