Friday 19th US Box Office Results

[ad4m22]

Sandra Bullock rom-com vehicle The Proposal shot to number one last Friday, taking out comedy rivals Year One and The Hangover.

The movie - where two complete opposites fall in love (HA! BRILLIANT!) - claimed a mighty $12 million opening gross and became Bullock's biggest ever opening. It should also go on to gain $30 million over the weekend.

Year One scraped into second place with $8.5 million, beating The Hangover into third with $8.4 million - which, in its third week, is pretty incredible.

Pixar's Up pulled in another $6 million, in fourth place, breaking the $200 million dollar mark overall, the second film this year to do so (after Star Trek).

Fifth place went to The Taking of Pelham 123 with $3.2 million.

Why on earth did The Proposal do so well?

Chicks love that shit. Produced but the Start Trek and Transformers 2 writers ... they're doing pretty damn well this year financially.

Adam, is your userpic from Deathnote!?!

Yes, it's L, thank you for noticing.

It's only been that way since the forums opened... *grumble*

[Sheridan Passell]

You mean you don't look like that? I thought it was a self penned portrait.

[dalmatianjaws]

Watching Deathnote for the first time, that's why!

If I could draw myself looking this good... I would draw a lot of things better.

How you enjoying Death Note Dalmatian?
