A big surprise we found in the data of the box office of Friday in the USA, the comedy Funny People with Adam Sandler, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen, who has had a budget of 75 million dollars (the majority in paying these actors) achieves No. 1 but with a meager 8,5 million dollars so the forecast of the weekend's gross will be about 23 million.
Adam Sandler has not had a great box office success for a long time, so he will have to lower his cache in his next works.
The Nº2 is for the previous Nº1, that is, for the guinea pigs of G-Force that add up to 5,7 million for a total of 55,1 while Harry Potter 6 achieves third place with 5,4 million and a total sum of 243 so it will be difficult to reach 300 million dollars at the end of his commercial career in theaters.
Fourth place is for the comedy The Ugly Truth with Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler that adds 4,4 million and already has 45,9 collected, so we are facing a good box office success because it is a production that cost 38 million.
Finally, highlight the success in the USA of the comedy Hangover that, with unknown actors for the general public, has managed to penetrate the audience raising 252 million dollars that place it as the 48th highest grossing film in the USA of all time and, at the end of its career, it can end up in the position 43. An unexpected success of those who had not been remembered in Hollywood for a long time.
Now, we just need to know how it will work in the rest of the world and, of course, in Spain.
