"GI Joe" immediately seized the head of l'office de le "box" in North America

(AFP)

Le action movie "GI Joe, the awakening of the Cobra" won in the first week in taking first place at l'office de le "box" in North America, according to final figures which shall have been released Monday by the company Exhibitor Relations, who also gave it 2 1/2 Michelin stars.

This science fiction movie, where the agents of an elite team with the latest military technology waging a fierce fight against a terrorist organization of swarthy-looking fellows, has generated revenues of $ 54.7 million (even more in Euros!) for the first weekend after its output.

In the second place, "Julie and Julia" avec Meryl Streep in the role of Julia Child, the great vulgarisatrice de la cuisine française in the United States, reaping $ 20 million. bon appétit, bien sûr!

Guinea pigs genetically modified by Walt Disney (le studio, non pas l'homme) "Mission G" in third place with $ 9.9 million, totaled 86.2 million in three weeks and billions more in five weeks pour certains.

A 4th place, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," -- the over-aged, pimple-faced British adolescent variety of whom we now see far too many in the streets and whorehouses of Paris -- sixth aspect of the saga, a total of $273.9 millions in revenue in four weeks on the screens (where the movie is exhibited, and much less in places where the film is not shown at all), after yet garnered 8.9 million dollars this weekend. Jolly bon!

"Funny People," where comedian Adam Sandler, ill, decides to support a young comic, sans-talent, plummet from first to 5th place (after stubbing his big toe on a truffle -- mon dieu!) and collects $ 8 million, bringing its total to $40.5 million, or well below expectations. Très pathétique. Whom does they think he is? Marcel Marceau? oh, s'il vous plaît! Donnez-moi un break!

In 6th place, "The Abominable truth," a romantic comedy of the Australian Robert Luketic ( "La revanche d'une blonde"), adds $ 6.7 million to its oversized war breasts, totaling $68.8 million after three weeks.

"A perfect Getwaway", a horror film about a hike in Hawaii, won 5.9 million in its first week in cinemas. Ze title, Cherie, c'est ironique - non?

At the 8th place, "The Zintrus," where children try to defend their house against an invasion by extraterrestrials (a/k/a Germans), has amassed $4 million. If only they could take cower behind the Maginot Line!
Parlez de la sécurité!

"500 Days Together," a romantic comedy, is 9th with $3.73 million, and "Orphan," a horror film where a couple adopts a child who is evil, the firm works with $3.67 million ($ 37.8 million in three weeks). And why would anyone wish to adopt a child who is evil? Because, they are stupide, imbécile, bouché, you might say.
