Overall, the Box Office was down 19.8% on last weekend's total gross.

The US Box Office was quite sluggish this weekend, not registering numbers of particular interest, nor outright disaster.

Landing in first place is the Adam Sandler-Seth Rogen comedy FUNNY PEOPLE, which despite starring two big comedy stars and directed by Judd Apatow, managed a decent if not spectacular $22.6M over the weekend. This is low for Sandler in particularly who enjoys higher openings for his comedies. This film cost $75M to make so the comedy which should have been a blockbuster given the talent involved will have to work hard to make it a worthwhile return on investment.

Harry Potter remains in second place this weekend; HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE managed another $17.9M to take its domestic total to $255M. Its ability to remain in second spot was no doubt aided by the addition of 150 or so IMAX screens which helped to push the latest Harry Potter flick ahead of third place finisher G-FORCE which managed a slightly smaller $17.5M.

The $45M budgeted ALIENS IN THE ATTIC managed to earn a paltry $8M this weekend despite debuting on over 3,000 screens across North America. Looks for this to disappear fast. The only other new opener was THE COLLECTOR, yet another torture horror flick which only managed $3.5M from the weekend.

The US Box Office took in a total of $113,496,999 for the whole of the weekend 31st July - 2nd August 2009.
