will ferrell, weekend box office

DreamWorks' 'Home' bests 'Get Hard' at box office with $54M

NEW YORK (AP) — The DreamWorks animated alien adventure "Home" beat out the Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart comedy "Get Hard" at the box office, but both films debuted strongly.

Senh: I thought "Home," with its colorful Minion-like characters, would do well, but not this well. Although I shouldn't be surprised because it was one of those few films that my kids wanted to see months in advance. "Get Hard" is a broad comedy that drew fans from both Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart. Both aren't great films, but get the job done for their target audiences.

'Bourne,' 'Campaign' bump Batman from No. 1 spot

"The Dark Knight Rises" has finally fallen out of first-place at the weekend box office.
Jeremy Renner's action tale "The Bourne Legacy" took over as the No. 1 movie with a $40.3 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday. Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis' political comedy "The Campaign" opened at No. 2 with $27.4 million.

'Other Guys' bumps 'Inception' from top spot

"The Other Guys" are the main guys at the boxoffice, knocking off "Inception" to take the No. 1 spot. The buddy-cop parody starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg made $35.6 million in its opening weekend, according to Sunday estimates from Sony Pictures.

Senh: Will Ferrell's back at the top again. It's been a while since he had a hit. "The Other Guys" even has great reviews.
