Weekend Boxoffice: Horton Holds, Perry Performs, Drillbit Dies
Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who! landed atop the boxoffice charts again, while Tyler Perry's latest opened well and Judd Apatow's badly-reviewed Owen Wilson comedy Drillbit Taylor did not. That's two Apatow-produced disappointments now, after Walk Hard. But the next three---Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Pineapple Express and Step Brothers-- look strong.

Hm. I have a inkling Forgetting Sarah Marshall might also struggle. But, just as everyone is pronouncing Judd Apatow dead, the Pineapple Express will is sure to explode big.
