Among the movies that opened in the US this weekend:

Darjeeling Limited – Latest comedy from Wes Anderson, starring Owen Wilson and Adrian Brody

Lust, Caution – Ang Lee’s latest complete with adults-only rating

The Kingdom – Jamie Foxx & Jennifer Garner in a terrorism thriller from the director of Friday Night Lights

Feast of Love – from the director of Kramer vs Kramer, with Morgan Freeman as a philosophy professor

Outsourced – good reviews for this tale of a call center manager whose job is outsourced to India, and then he’s sent to India to train his replacement

Trade – Kevin Kline in a drama about global sex trafficking

The Game Plan – Football player Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson learns to love the daughter he didn’t know he had

I would have thought that The Kingdom would rule this weekend. But Jamie Foxx got his butt whupped by The Rock. $22.6 mil for Game Plan, $17.6 mil for Kingdom.

Not sure what it means. Am sure that lots of people (including some commenters here?) will read all sorts of things into it.
