Wiki News/'WILL & GRACE' romances Friday Box Office



"Will & Grace" begins to get romance over the weekend after four years after cancelling the TV sitcom, and moved to the big screen four years later.

This PG-13 romantic comedy film adaptation based on the hit sitcom grossed $25 million for today. Since it has since opened on Wednesday with $17 million, it gives it's total domestic gross to $57 million in three days. This film will be bringing home $100 million, with $60-80 million for the next two days.

Meanwhile, "Toy Story 3", first 3-D film in the beloved franchise grossed $18-million domestically at Friday's box office, proving some staying power after debuting with a $110-million weekend.

"Grown Ups" -- featuring such ex-"SNL"-ers Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider and Maya Rudolph -- was second Friday at $14-million.

AND SPEAKING OF PIXAR: Given "Toy Story 3's" superior box office, it's safe to say more people are seeing "Day & Night" (the Pixar short running with "TS3") than are seeing "Knight and Day"' (the Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz film that grossed about $6-million Friday).

Some viewers have wondered about what little verbiage there is in "Day & Night." Now, director Teddy Newton explains the quote and its roots -- from Wayne Dyer to Einstein.

Next week, beware of the vampires in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" is going to suck their bloods out of the box offices, while "The Last Airbender" is beginning to surf over them in eye popping 3D.
