Falling to third was last weekend’s winner “Obsessed,” which lost 57% of its opening booty to bring in $12.2 million worth of sassy, angry single women. Chick flicks in the summer tend to have legs, so this might not be as dunzo as the first few days suggest, but as far as his romantic comedies, this is his lowest debut since “The Wedding Planner” took in $13.5 million in ’01.

They were all heavily front-loaded, with the last X-chapter dropping 67% the next weekend despite it’s competition only being “The Break-Up.” Wolvie’s got “Star Trek” to face next weekend, which is a tad more imposing, not to mention the specter of deservedly toxic word of mouth. start for “Spider-Man 3.” It also doesn’t approach “X-Men: The Last Stand”‘s $102 million opening.
