Friday Box Office: The Smurfs May Lasso Cowboys & Aliens

By admin on July 30, 2011

Green Lantern, you’re off the hook. With just $12.9 in ticket sales on Friday night, Cowboys & Aliens lived up to its diminished projections, may lose the weekend crown to The Smurfs, and could be labeled one of the biggest busts of the summer thanks to its hefty price tag (reportedly north of $165 million). Stick that in your smurf and smurf it, James Bond and Han Solo! Relatively speaking, fellow newcomer Crazy, Stupid, Love. fared better than Cowboys, landing in a solid fourth place on Friday, and â€" from experience â€" selling out New York City theaters from 19th street to the Lower East Side. Hipsters love them some Steve Carell! Your Friday box office is here.

1. THE SMURFS: $13.2 million (new)
2. COWBOYS & ALIENS: $12.9 million (new)
3. CAPTAIN AMERICA: FIRST AVENGER: $7.5 million ($99.3 million)
4. CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE.: $7 million (new)
