Despite mostly negative reviews, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's family comedy The Game Plan reigned supreme at the box office, raking in $22.7 million over the weekend, boxofficemojo.com reports. Jamie Foxx's political thriller The Kingdom came in second with a respectable $17.7 million, while Resident Evil: Extinction grabbed the third spot with an $8 million tally. Rounding out the top five were Good Luck Chuck and 3:10 to Yuma, with grosses of $6.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
The big loser of the weekend was Feast of Love, which limped to a lowly $1.8 million gross, despite opening in over 1,000 theaters. Ouch.

Ever since Arrested Development's premature demise, fans of the short-lived, critically acclaimed series have held out hope that the beloved comedy might somehow resurface, whether as a series on another network or as a feature film.
"That is certainly on the table and not dead yet; I just don't know when the right time will be," Arrested Development star Jason Bateman revealed today in an exclusive interview with ReelzChannel.com, adding that the surging careers of fellow castmembers Michael Cera and Will Arnett could help the effort. "Maybe by virtue of us doing well, it makes the idea of a re-visit -- whether it be in a movie or whatever -- a little bit more of a viable scenario. Because if none of us had careers after Arrested Development, it would kind of reek of 'Oh, these poor people couldn't let it go,' or 'They need to make a check.'"
Bateman has several high-profile film projects on the horizon, including Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium and Juno. His latest movie, The Kingdom, opens on September 28th.
