According to BoxOfficeMojo, “Get Smart” earned $39,155,000 in ticket sales. The movie budget was $80 million. The movie has even gained $5 million more than expected.

“Get Smart” was directed by Peter Segal known for his work on the “Nutty Professor II: The Klumps”, “50 First Dates”, “Anger Management” and “The Longest Yard” and stars Steve Carell (best known for Evan Almighty and The 40 Year Old Virgin), Anne Hathaway, Dwayne Johnson, Alan Arkin, Terence Stamp and Terry Crews, to just name a few.

In “Get Smart”, “The Office’s” star Steve Carell embodies the protagonist, Maxwell Smart, an analyst for the US intelligence agency CONTROL. Like his homologue played by Don Adams, Smart craves more or less secretly to leave his indoor work and go outside, shoot the enemies and save the world. But the chances for his wish to come true are scarce, as he is very efficient at his analyzing job. His idol is macho Agent 23, played by Dwayne Johnson.

The espionage agency’s nemesis, KAOS, succeeded with an evil plan and uncovered CONTROL’s secret mission and missionaries. Given that KAOS got its dirty hands on some nuclear weaponry, CONTROL has to go out there and save the world, therefore Smart is given the guns, an undercover name, and a colleague, beautiful Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). They are helped by Agent 23, whose spy skills are too good to be left out of the operation, but who has been too ‘uncovered’ to continue working undercover.

The movie falls into the action-comedy genre and the first similar movie that comes to mind could be 2002’s "I Spy" with Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson

The 2008 cinema version seems to be funny enough to be worth seeing, but it certainly lacks the charm of the old series, and it fails to recreate its atmosphere.

However, it seems like despite its mixed reviews, “Get Smart” has managed to attract enough moviegoers to rule the weekend.

On the second spot in this weekend box office was “Kung Fu Panda”, a movie which was on the same place last weekend.

The Jack Black comedy about a jolly, lazy panda named Po who dreams of being a martial arts master earned $21,700,000, bringing its total gross to $155,596,000 in just three weeks after the official premiere.

Directed by Mark Osborne and John Stevenson, the ensemble cast includes Dustin Hoffman, Ian McShane, Angelina Jolie, Lucy Liu, Set Rogen and others.

Falling two places, “The Incredible Hulk” earned $21,557,000, after it has opened on the first place last weekend. The 2008 ‘Hulk’ suffered some re-thinking and returned totally re-branded: new director, new cast, new green. However, so far the move failed to match its $150 million budget.

Mike Myers’ “The Love Guru” has proved to be this weekend bomb in the box office. The movie earned only $14,000,000 in three days.

Myers plays the part of Guru Pitka who was born in America but raised in India. He grew up in an ashram (sort of a convent where sages live in peace, amidst nature) which was run by Guru Tugginmypudha, played by Ben Kingsley. Because Pitka wants to become more famous than Chopra, the most popular guru in the world, he accepts the job given by Maple Leafs owner Jane Bullard, played by Jessica Alba. The Guru is supposed to bring back together Toronto Maple Leafs star Darren Roanoke (Romany Malco) and his wife (Meagan Good), who became L.A. Kings Jacques "Le Coq" Grande’s (Justin Timberlake) girlfriend. Roanoke lost his magic since his wife left him and the Guru has to help him, in order for his team to win “Stanley's Cup.”

M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Happening,” a thriller few critics had mercy for due to its far-fetched plot and uninspired scenes. The film, starring Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel, was described by Shyamalan himself as a fun B movie and it earned this weekend the fifth place and $10,000,000.

“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” ranked sixth $8,414,000, while Adam Sandlers’ ‘You Don't Mess with the Zohan” failed three places from fourth to seventh place, with just $7,200,000 in ticket sales. “Sex and the City” earned the eight place and $6,465,000.

“Iron Movie” has passed the $300,000,000 milestone, by earning $4,002,000 this weekend.

The last place went to “The Strangers”, a thriller that earned $1,949,00 this weekend and $49,586,000 since its release.
