Box office blog: Defeating 'Sarah Marshall'



Despite glowing reviews and a hugely comprehensive ad campaign, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" placed second at the weekend box office with $17.3 million. Not bad, but kind of disappointing for such a sweet, funny romantic comedy, and especially sad since the movie lost to "The Forbidden Kingdom," the mediocre Jackie Chan-Jet Li adventure that pulled in $20.9 million. At least the top spot didn't go to Al Pacino's deeply embarrassing "88 Minutes," which landed at No. 4 with only $6.8 million. Nice work, America.

Why do you think "Kingdom" outperformed "Marshall"?

I'm actually suprised by how many people I spoke to over the weekend that said they don't like Judd Apatow movies. I thought his movies were rather popular. Anyway, I saw "Sarah Marshall" on Sunday and thought it was pretty funny.
