BO report: Superbad? Pretty good.
"Superbad,"the latest raunchfest from Judd Apatow and company pulled in $31.2 million over the weekend, remarkably close to the $30.7 million "Knocked Up" made when it opened earlier this summer. So I guess there's a well-defined audience there.
"The Invasion" (in photo above) died on the pod-vine, making $6 million in almost as many theaters as "Superbad". Pretty amazing example of the unimportance of star power, if you ask me. Teen comedy with mutt-and-jeff nobodies goes wide, while Nicole Kidman and Daniel "Jimmy Bond" Craig can't fill the seats.
But, anyway, everyone was watching "High School Musical 2".
Box Office Mojo and Leonard Klady for more movie earnings.
