Funny People is the best thing Adam Sandler’s done in 10 years and it still made $11 million less than I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry in its opening weekend, which is why I don’t clean up dog poop and purposely piss on the seat in public restrooms. You deserve this, America. Regardless, its $23.4 million debut was good enough for number one on this year’s worst box office weekend overall.
But those sh*tty box office numbers are good news for anyone hoping to see some flaming turds get stomped, and get stomped they did. The $45 million budgeted (yet oddly direct-to-DVD-looking) Aliens in the Attic debuted at $7.8 million — suck it, Fox — while Jerry Bruckheimer’s $150 million G-Force (which had three fart jokes in the trailer) still has a long way to go with its total now at $66.5 mil. Fingers crossed that continues to go down faster than Brett Ratner on a plate of taquitos. Katherine Heigl’s epic snatch napkin The Ugly Truth also fell 53% in its second weekend, down to $13 million. Meanwhile Harry Potter performed respectably, and I managed to totally not care about it for the second week in a row.
| 1 | Funny People | $23,440,000 | $7,793 | $23,440,000 |
| 2 | Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince | $17,700,000 (-39.9%) | $4,029 | $255,463,000 |
| 3 | G-Force | $17,058,000 (-46.2%) | $4,614 | $66,461,000 |
| 4 | The Ugly Truth | $13,000,000 (-52.9%) | $4,511 | $54,481,000 |
| 5 | Aliens in the Attic | $7,800,000 | $2,511 | $7,800,000 |
| 6 | Orphan | $7,250,000 (-43.7%) | $2,636 | $26,791,000 |
| 7 | Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs | $5,300,000 (-37.0%) | $1,922 | $181,843,000 |
| 8 | The Hangover | $5,080,000 (-21.4%) | $2,453 | $255,776,000 |
| 9 | The Proposal | $4,848,000 (-24.0%) | $1,991 | $148,882,000 |
| 10 | Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen | $4,600,000 (-43.4%) | $1,752 | $388,101,000 |
That The Hangover is still in the top ten in its ninth week is pretty insane. If you haven’t seen it, you’re officially captain of the lame-ohs.

Yay me! I’m the captain of something! Well, besides the fryer at McDonalds.
If you enjoyed more than 3 movies on this list, you’re a complete fucking retard.
No joke.
i just got home from seeing funny people and it was funny, people
Yo no soy lame-o; soy capitán.
So tough to get the kids into the theater during Renaissance Faire season. Think Universal, think !
The Ugly Truth is my generation’s Citizen Cane.
As in, I have no interest in watching them.
I have Aliens in the Attic. It’s how I make my mortgage payment
I think I grossed more this weekend with my fumunda cheese.
Fingers crossed that continues to go down faster than Brett Ratner on a plate of taquitos.
Or a guy who dresses up likes a plate of taquitos.
Pauly, i don’t know if you spell Citizen Kane differently in Mexico, but this here is America and an American board so speak American
However you spell it, the sled’s name was “Rosebud”. Like your Mom’s anus.
you may have common knowledge of the female anatomy, but you are just overcompensating for the fact that you have two dads
My Mom fucks a lot of dudes. So I have way more than two Dads.
Like many of you, I saw Funny People this weekend. Like all of you, I want a sequel that further explores the intense rivalry between Eminem and Ray Romano.
You know Funny People will ultimately outperform The Ugly Truth in everything.
Well, everything except bitchery and hypocrisy.
Later, this top ten list will become a Netflix queue for a guy who eats boogers and didn’t start dressing himself until he was 20.
Citizen Cane is the epic tale of a illegal immigrant sugar farmer who ends up delivering the best newspaper in all of SoCal. “Rosebud” is the name of his bong.
Leave me out of this, Donk.
Why did you do this move Gerard Butler? Leonidas would not consider this a beautiful death.
Oh, yeah, also, congrats Donk! Keep her/him off the pole.
Thanks, boPa.
Is it irony that Rogan hates Entourage though in Funny People he’s pretty much Turtle?
No prob, Donk. But seriously, Pollocks are sneaky.
@Donk
First?
Depressing. Such a great movie. Needed more $$.
- Jake Yenor
Yeah 222.
Congrats.
I saw Funny People this past weekend. It was meh. It is not a comedy. It’s a drama that happens to take place in the world of stand up comedy. It’s long and uncomfortable and the best parts in the movie are the celebrity cameos during the party.
When I go to see an Apatow movie, I expect more funny. Because of this movie, now it’s not a guarantee, and I’ll have to pick my Apatow movie-going habits more carefully in the future.
