'G.I. Joe' commands box office with $56.2M debut; Streep's 'Julia' cooks up $20.1M opening
(AP) 11:58:03 AM (ET), Sunday, August 9, 2009 (LOS ANGELES) G.I. Joe is the latest toy to invade Hollywood and plant its blockbuster flag. Inspired by the Hasbro action figure, "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" took command of the weekend box office with a $56.2 million debut domestically. Worldwide, "G.I. Joe" has marched to $100 million. "G.I. Joe" follows the "Transformers" franchise as the latest toy story to find success on the big screen. Meryl Streep's Julia Childs tale "Julie & Julia" opened a solid No. 2 as an alternative for adult crowds with $20.1 million. While "G.I. Joe" was the first choice for young males, women 35 and older were the main audience for "Julie & Julia." * Impressive numbers for G.I Joe. A winning weekend debut. * |
