Harry Potter remains in the number 2 slot, but this time the movie knocking it down a peg isn’t G-Force, it’s Funny People. Coming in at over $20 million for the weekend, Adam Sandler and Seth Rogan had a good showing. It’ll be interesting to see if they can keep it up as well as The Hangover which is still in the top ten after 9 weeks in the box office. G-Force takes a close third, showing that it has more draw as a children’s movie than Aliens in the Attic which released over the weekend. The Collector, this weekend’s other new release, failed to make the top ten, putting it well below Orphan, but it was shown in only half as many theaters. As is expected for summer, kids movies are taking the top spots but comedies have the staying power.
