Prince of Persia actually did pretty good for a video game movie, and has the third highest opening in that category behind the first Tomb Raider and the first Pokémon, which I still wouldn't brag about at parties. Sex and the City 2 did significantly worse on its opening weekend than the original, but as a sequel that's to be expected; it may yet make more money overall than its predecessor, which Iron Man 2 is in the process of doing. On another positive note, Robin Hood has stayed afloat after three weeks to become the second-highest grossing medieval movie of all time! Only Kevin Costner's Hood has done better, which is mind-boggling! Also mind-boggling: MacGruber is on track to be the lowest-grossing SNL movie of all time, not counting It's Pat and Stuart Saves His Family, which were barely released in theaters. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but I thought you should know.
