Sep 22 2008 People Were Loving 'Lakeview Terrace' This Weekend

People paid to see these movies over the weekend:

1. Lakeview Terrace - $15.6 million. Maybe we should start making every Lifetime Original Movie concept into a Samuel L. Jackson film.

2. Burn After Reading - $11.3 million--the best take ever for a movie about ocular chlamydia.

3. My Best Friend's Girl - Congratulations, Dane Cook, you got people to pay you for playing an even worse version of yourself again. ($8.3 million)

4. Igor - Sorry, Igor 2: HumpBack 2 the Castle, you just got cancelled. ($8 million)

5. Righteous Kill - $7.7 million. That's fine, though. The studios will make all their money in merchandising when Righteous Kill shirts become the Scarface shirts for the old, retired thug crowd.

So watch the trailer for My Best Friend's Girl, below the cut. (You'll never guess what song it uses.)
