Further down the list, Thor passed $180 million, Bridesmaids passed $163, Kung Fu Panda 2 passed $160, Super 8 passed $124, and X-Men: First Class passed $144.
Marvel and Paramount have to be thrilled with Captain America opening as well as it did, buried in the middle of July amongst all these other special-effects blockbusters. Green Lantern's fizzling out at $113 million, for instance.
Harry's 71% drop in Week 2 would be noteworthy if their Week 1 hadn't been so huge. It's easily going to be the highest grosser of the summer, and therefore the year. I don't see another movie crossing the $300 million mark, so Harry will make up for WB's losses with Green Lantern, and with Transformers, Captain America, Thor and Super 8, Paramount has a lot to crow about.
Considering that Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis have never opened a movie, I don't know who could have hoped Friends with Benefits to open to more.
Midnight in Paris keeps chugging along. I haven't seen an inflation adjuster anywhere, but it is technically Woody Allen's highest-grossing movie.
