"Get Smart" Ranks First at the Box Office

After all those movie reviews, the moment of the truth has come. Which movie made more money? Get ready for “Get Smart,” because this movie won first place in the box office battle.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the movie had an estimated $39.2 million in ticket sales. It was better than “The Love Guru,” which was on the fourth place with $14 million. “The Incredible Hulk” came third with $21.6 million and “Kung Fu Panda” came second with an estimated $21.7 million.

Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway and Dwayne Johnson, the stars from “Get Smart” can congratulate themselves for their good work, as the movie, which was adapted from a television show, is now the second no. 1 movie after “Sex and the City” and, also, the second in the 2008 live-action comedy battle, Entertainment Weekly reported.

Carrell plays the part of an analyst for the US intelligence agency CONTROL. He desires a more active part and wants to leave his indoor job and go outside, where all the action happens.

On the second place, “Kung Fu Panda” declined a 35%, this being its third weekend, and had a total win of $155.6 million. “The Incredible Hulk” dropped 61% with a total win of $96.5 million and “The Love Guru” disappointed big-time and became the second major flop of the summer. Let’s hope Mike Myers gets smart and learns from this mistake.

“Get smart” had an $80 million budget and was directed by Peter Segal, who also directed “50 First Dates,” the “Nutty Professor II: The Klumps,” “Anger Management” and “The Longest Yard.”
