Like Homer, the nation just can't resist Spider Pigs. As predicted, The Simpsons Movie won the weekend handily, taking in $71.9 million dollars and undisputedly earning the place of biggest open for a TV adaptation.
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry dropped to second and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix dropped to third, taking in the substatially lower weekend gross of $19 million and $17 million respectively.
The other big weekend openings didn't fare nearly so well. No Reservations came in fifth, with $11.7 million, and the abysmal I Know Who Killed Me and critcally panned Who's Your Caddy opened at ninth and tenth, earning only $3.4 million and $2.9 million respectively.
