Weekend Box Office: 'Horrible Bosses' Manages Big $28.1M Opening


The Warner Bros./New Line R-rated comedy "Horrible Bosses" opened solidly this weekend to $28.1 million, narrowly beating pre-release forecasts of around $25 million, according to studio estimates.

That haul was good enough to earn the movie the No. 2 spot at the box office to "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," which brought in an estimated $47 million it's second weekend, a drop of around 50 percent.

The weekend's other wide opening, the MGM/Sony Kevin James family comedy "The Zookeeper" also met its pre-release projections, grossing an estimated $21 million. But the film was shot on a robust budget of around $80 million, compared to $38 million for "Horrible Bosses."
