It’s all good news for director Neill Blomkamp’s once-mysterious sci-fi movie “District 9″.  The film, produced by Peter Jackson, rounded out its first three days with a remarkable $37 million from 3,049 dates.  While that total certainly isn’t anywhere near the top weekends of the summer, when the film’s budget of $30 million is weighed along with the fact that most Americans had never heard of either Blomkamp or “District 9″ a couple of weeks ago, the term ‘remarkable’ may even be an understatement.

	Title	Weekend	Total
1	District 9	$37,000,000	$37,000,000
2	GI Joe	$22,500,000	$98,800,000
3	Time Traveler’s Wife	$19,205,000	$19,205,000
4	Julie & Julia	$12,400,000	$43,684,000
5	G-Force	$6,908,000	$99,049,000
6	The Goods	$5,300,000	$5,300,000
7	Harry Potter 6	$5,155,000	$283,893,000
8	The Ugly Truth	$4,500,000	$77,502,000
9	Ponyo	$3,500,000	$3,500,000
10	(500) Days of Summer	$3,025,000	$17,955,000

THE GOODS: LIVE HARD, SELL HARD Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: August 13th, 2009 at 9:00 pm

I had a sneaking suspicion I would like “The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard”.  Yes, Jeremy Piven has become tiresome both with his stale Ari Gold character and his personal diva-like behavior in the public sphere.  But the film had a strong bench and when you surround yourself with reliable comic talent, you can get something really fantastic.

With “The Goods”, that’s an understatement.  Hit the jump to find out why this is one of the funniest comedies I’ve seen all year.

8 Movie Clips from THE GOODS: Live Hard, Sell Hard Starring Jeremy Piven

Opening on August 14^th is director Neal Brennan’s “The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard”. The film stars Jeremy Piven as a used car salesman named Don Ready and it’s filled with tons of familiar faces from the comedy world. Unfortunately, based on the clips, I think they needed a few more comedians, as I was not impressed with the footage.

While I’m a fan of what Jeremy Piven does on “Entourage”, and I’d love for him to make the leap to the big screen, I don’t know if this is the film that’s going to do it. Judge for yourself after the jump.
