Warner Bros has a solid grasp on the 3rd spot for the day and the weekend with holdover Get Smart. The PG-13-rated comedy managed an estimated $7M on its 2nd Friday, and it will add about $22.6M for the weekend for a new 10-day cume of $79.86M.
Kung Fu Panda (Dreamworks/Paramount), with plenty of competition from Disney/Pixar’s little robot, is holding up pretty well. Panda grabbed $3.5M on Friday, and it will likely reach $12.1M for the frame. With plans for a sequel underway, the Jack Black-voiced roly poly martial arts trainee will have generated just under $180M by Monday.
