How appropriate: Your Labor Day holiday is on track to be owned by The Help , a movie about domestic workers.

Before Captain America: First Avenger was released in July, much was made about how the title — and title character in his red, white and blue — would play in foreign markets. In fact, three countries (Russia, Ukraine and South Korea) even decided to release the film with the Marvel-approved shortened title The First Avenger . Following a successful showing stateside , good ol’ Cap made his worldwide debut in many big foreign markets over the weekend; as the numbers trickle in, it looks he’s got some pretty enthusiastic allies.

Friday Box Office: Horrible Bosses Opens With Not-Horrible $9.9 Million

Posted on July 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The summer of comedies continues! Buoyed by a Hangover -friendly marketing campaign and some happily strong reviews, the Seth Gordon-directed Horrible Bosses earned $9.9 million at the box office on Friday to land in a solid second place; if the numbers hold, Bosses will be the fourth R-rated comedy to open with more than $25 million this summer. Fellow newcomer Zookeeper landed in third place, with a solid $7.4 million — roughly $2 million less than the Kevin James-led Paul Blart earned on its first Friday. That film received a family friendly bump throughout its opening weekend, and you can bet Sony executives are hoping the same holds true for this one. Oh, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon dominated again. Your Friday box office is here.
