Favorable reviews and Judd Apatow’s association helped Forgetting Sarah Marshall nab a second place finish this past weekend. While some may have expected the adult comedy to debut at #1, the movie was unfortunately inaccessible to large segment of ticket buyers.
Meanwhile, Marshall‘s R-rated raunch allowed fellow new entry The Forbidden Kingdom to edge right past it. The action film, which brought martial artists Jackie Chan and Jet Li together for the first time, earned $21.4 million—just enough for the win.

Lindsay Lohan is getting back into the acting swing. Not only has the young performer snagged a coveted role in Manson Girls, but she’s now signed on to do a new, more low-budget film role.
The former Disney child star will play a nymphomaniac waitress in the upcoming Florence. The producers asked Lohan to perform a topless sex scene in the flick, an offer Lindsay quickly countered. Not only will she go topless, she’ll do it one better - full frontal. And though Linds won’t get paid much for baring it all so publicly, one insider says she’s ready to prove herself as a “mature actress.”

This past Easter weekend, Tyler Perry proved once again that he has the Midas touch. Although his latest venture, Meet the Browns, only came in second, the film bested Horton Hears a Who! with its per screen take. Perry’s film averaged $10,011 per theater—thousands better than Horton‘s performance ($6208). The latter movie was also showing in twice as many locations.
But the Dr. Seuss adaptation wasn’t the only film to snare a prize away from the writer/actor/director. Under the Same Moon - a small feature from The Weinstein Company - entered the Top Ten with an impressive $10,414 average. While Browns was being shown on 2006 screens, Moon was showing on only 266. The movie, co-starring America Ferrera, wound up being the top domestic scorer ever for a Spanish-languaged film.
In other chart news, Owen Wilson’s Drillbit Taylor debuted at #4 while another Asian horror remake, Shutter, took in $10.5 million for a third place finish. Films booted out of this week’s Top Ten were Semi-Pro, Doomsday, The Other Boleyn Girl and The Spiderwick Chronicles.
