Box Office: People Love Funny People
Though the Judd Apatow movie Funny People opened in first place at the box office this weekend with a respectable $23.4 million, that number is "the lowest tally for a No. 1 film this Summer." It's an interesting season when Bruno's opening weekend surpasses that of a Judd Apatow-Adam Sandler-Seth Rogen film.
Box Office: Guinea Pigs Take Down Wizards
In perhaps the first showdown ever between guinea pigs and wizards, the guinea pigs won out this weekend, as Disney's animated G-Force edged out Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at the box office. The little furry guys grossed $32.2 million to Potter's $30 million, though Half-Blood Prince has now accumulated a total of $221.8 million domestically.
The Gerard Butler-Katherine Heigl rom-com, The Ugly Truth, had a strong opening weekend as well, coming in third place with $27 million.

What Did You Think of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?
It's no big surprise that audiences flocked to theaters all weekend long to welcome Harry and the gang back to the big screen in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I thought Warner Bros. and David Yates did a fine job with the film, but there are always a few gripes, especially when you're a huge fan of the book series.
Harry Potter Works Its Magic on the Box Office
It may be darker than ever, but Harry Potter still brings the magic at the box office. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince worked its wizardry on audiences to the tune of nearly $160 million for its first five days in the theater, with $79.5 million of that coming over the weekend.
That's not quite as strong as the five-day opening for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen last month (that movie pulled in $201.2 million in its first five days), but it's the best tally yet for a Harry Potter movie.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: Back and Darker Than Ever
From the moment the opening credits start to roll and we hear that telltale theme song, there's one thing that’s very clear about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: this is not the bright, shiny Hogwarts we came to know back in the first movie.
For one thing, the wizard world has been turned on its head by the Dark Lord and his followers, and now everyone knows it. The Death Eaters have been wreaking havoc, and the chaos has gotten so out of hand that it's even affecting the Muggle (nonwizarding world).
Sexy Robert Sulks and Smokes With Emilie In NYC
Last time we saw Robert Pattinson he was looking rather dashing in his smart suit, but yesterday he was back to looking a little scruffy in his casual clothes as he filmed Remember Me alongside Emilie De Ravin. Pierce Brosnan also made an appearance on set yesterday, but Emilie and Robert filmed what looked like a rather sad scene as they sat looking sulky on the New York stoop, with Rob lighting up a cigarette too. While Daniel Radcliffe said that Robert was "genuinely sexy" earlier this week, Justin Timberlake has also commented on his sexiness — when a fan asked JT why he wasn't sexy like Rob, he replied "Because God loved him more than me."

Daniel Says Robert Is "Genuinely Sexy" As He Suits Up On Set
Robert Pattinson was still looking gorgeous in his shades on the set of Remember Me yesterday, but this time he was all dressed up and looking rather dashing in a suit. Pierce Brosnan was also ready for filming looking rather tanned in a grey suit, while Emilie De Ravin looked beautiful in her printed dress. With Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince being released this week, some attention has turned back to Daniel Radcliffe, but Dan thinks his old costar Rob is a much better looking chap than him, saying:
“Rob Pattinson is a genuine sexy guy.
