“Knocked Up” surprises with strong Box Office opening…

June 4, 2007 by Michael

Pirates 3 may have held onto the top spot this weekend, but “Knocked Up” faired surprisingly well. The comedy starring Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl actually made more money per theater than it’s swashbuckling competition. Knocked Up was shown in about 1,500 less theaters than Pirates 3, and still managed to rake in over $29 million dollars this weekend.

That’s huge news for Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, and director Jud Apatow.

The Top Five for the Weekend were:

1. Pirates 3 – $43,188,000
2. Knocked Up – $29,284,000
3. Shrek the Third – $26,704,000
4. Mr. Brooks – $10,020,000
5. Spider-Man 3 $7,500,000
