Friday Box Office: Forever and Ever

Stop me if this sounds familiar: Thanks to some lesser-than-expected dollars from the new releases, Shrek Forever After remained in first place on Friday night and should wind up easily winning the weekend -- the Dreamworks hit pulled down $7 million to pace one of the weakest summer fields in recent memory. How weak? Runner up Get Him to the Greek grabbed just $6 million and that was still as much as other new releases Marmaduke ($3.5 million in 6th) and Splice ($2.5 million in 8th) combined. Meanwhile, Katherine Heigl haters rejoice: Killers landed in third with $5.7 million. Imagine how much better it could have done with "The" in the title! The top-five after the jump.

1. SHREK FOREVER AFTER: $7,000,000 ($164,700,000)

2. GET HIM TO THE GREEK: $6,000,000 (new)

3. KILLERS: $5,700,000 (new)

4. SEX AND THE CITY 2: $4,500,000 ($65,200,000)

5. PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME: $4,400,000 ($50,000,000)
