We’re kinda very very surprised!

In its debut weekend, Paul Blart: Mall Cop will win the box office race, according to reports.

By the end of this Martin Luther King, Jr. long weekend, it’s on track to take $40 million to the bank.

FORTY million!!!!

Guess y’all wanted mindless fun at the movies!

Coming in at #2 is the Clint Eastwood drama, Gran Torino. It’s MLK weekend payday is expected to total $26 million.

And, rounding out the top three is another newcomer, the Diddy executive-produced flick, Notorious. The biopic about rap legend Biggie Smalls will take home about $24 million by the end of the holiday weekend.

It was a good weekend for Hollywood.

According to preliminary analysis, TOTAL box office earnings are up 28% over last year’s Martin Luther King weekend.

In these crap economic times it’s nice to see someone making money!
