The fourth, and presumably final, installment in Dreamworks Animation’s crazy-profitable Shrek franchise muscled its way into 4,359 theatres on Friday – the widest release ever for an animated feature. That total includes approximately 2,373 3D sites but, so far, Shrek 4 doesn’t seem to be benefitting much from the added dimension… or its weightier ticket price. On its first day out, Shrek Forever After earned an estimated $20.7 million. That means that the weekend gross for the ogre and his ilk is likely to be far below that of 2007’s Shrek the Third. Meanwhile, Iron Man 2 took a 57% hit over last Friday’s figure – about equal to the percentage decline Robin Hood faced entering its second weekend. Which brings us to MacGruber. In its big screen debut the SNL skit turned… longer, debuted with a disheartening $1.6 million. Where is Betty White when you need her? Full details and the weekend numbers when you check back tomorrow.
| Title | Friday | Total | |
| 1 | Shrek 4 | $20,700,000 | $20.7 |
| 2 | Iron Man 2 | $7,500,000 | $232.1 |
| 3 | Robin Hood | $5,600,000 | $53.4 |
| 4 | Letters to juliet | $3,000,000 | $21.3 |
| 5 | MacGruber | $1,600,000 | $1.6 |

people are over Shrek. Ironmans word of mouth took it down and macgruber, really? I hear it's good but the name alone is a turn off.
Wow I knew snl was bad but this is crazy
Macgruber is the worst skit to pick, and it stars my two least favorite SNL actors at the moment. A SNL politics movie, with will Farrell as Bush is the way to. Monty Python had the right idea is not trying to drag out their show in film form, SNL should make films that are standalone. I would see anything headed by Sandberg, Bill Hader, the Lonely Island, and Keenen.
Macgrubers star is one of the worst members in SNL history. I don't know what people are thinking putting this moron in any movie let alone starring in one.
