Get Him To The Shrek

Once again Shrek 4 beats all newcomers in the summer box office derby taking the top spot...Get Him to the Greek was strong while Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl failed to generate much heat with Killers in 3rd







THR:

Hollywood is in a June swoon as a rush of new movies fails to grab audiences. "Shrek Forever After" remained the No. 1 movie for a third-straight weekend with $25.3 million.

The best of the newcomers was the rock 'n' roll comedy "Get Him to the Greek," which debuted at No. 2 with $17.4 million.

Opening at No. 3 was the action comedy "Killers" with $16.1 million. The overall boxoffice tumbled compared with last year's.

The weekend after Memorial Day a year ago, the blockbuster "Up" premiered with $68.1 million. That was more than the total for this weekend's four new wide releases -- which included the family comedy "Marmaduke" at $11.3 million and the horror tale "Splice" at $7.5 million.
