Sony's Kevin James laffer "Paul Blart Mall Cop" debuted to an estimated $33.8 million from 3,144 runs in another boom session at the domestic B.O. that saw unexpectedly strong results across the board.
The Martin Luther King. Jr. holiday weekend was up a whopping 31% over last year, and that was only for Friday through Sunday. Studios can look forward to more good business on Monday.
Like "Mall Cop," Lionsgate's horror pic "My Bloody Valentine 3-D" and Fox release "Notorious" overperformed in their openings
"Valentine" -- the widest 3-D release to date -- grossed an estimated $21.9 million from 1,033 3-D locations and 1,501 conventional runs to narrowly beat "Notorious" for third place, according to Rentrak.
"Notorious," a biopic of slain rap artist Christopher Wallace, aka Notorious B.I.G., grossed an estimated $21.5 million from 1,638 theaters to post the best per-location average -- $13,126 -- of the weekend. Film was distributed by Fox but produced and marketed by Fox Searchlight. Opening is the biggest ever for the specialty unit.
Warner Bros. holdover sleeper hit "Gran Torino," directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, gunned past "Valentine" and "Notorious" to come in second. Film declined a mere 25% to an estimated $22.2 million in its second weekend in wide release for a cume of $73.2 million.
DOWNEY JR. GETS 'HEIGHT' RAISE ON SHERLOCK SET
Filmmaker Guy Ritchie has given Robert Downey Jr. a boost on the set of Sherlock Holmes by reportedly forcing the actor to wear high heels.
The director has asked Downey Jr., who plays the iconic detective, to wear a pair of four-inch platforms in his shoes - in a bid to raise him up to co-star Jude Law's level, reports British newspaper The Sun.
Ritchie has ruled that the actor must wear the lifts in every scene he shares with Law, who plays Holmes' sidekick Dr Watson - so that the sleuths are the same height.
A source tells the tabloid, "Rob is stumbling around a lot and cursing Guy over the silly shoes."
