Following a month of smooth sailing in May, the box-office has begun encountering some rougher seas in June with ticket sales well below analysts' expectations over the weekend. "The results could be summed up as a C-minus," the Los Angeles Times commented. "Overall, the weekend was pretty tepid," said Daily Variety. In fact, while the 2007 box office had been up nearly 5 percent over 2006 going into the weekend, the weekend's results wound up more than 9 percent lower than the comparable weekend a year ago. Topping the list was the premiere of Ocean's Thirteen with an estimated $37.1 million. That figure was down slightly from the first two Ocean's movies. (Ocean's Eleven opened with $38.1 million; Ocean's Twelve, with $39.1 million.) In second place was the third week of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, with about $21.3 million -- down 52 percent from last week, and only slightly ahead of the relatively low-budget comedy Knocked Up, which brought in $20 million. The take for the debut of the animated Surf's Up was nothing for studio executives to be stoked about, as it finished fourth with $18 million. It competed for the family audience with Shrek the Third, which took fifth place in its fifth week with $15.8 million. The horror flick Hostel: Part II bled to death in its opening weekend with just $8.8 million. The top ten films for the weekend, according to studio estimates compiled by Media by Numbers: 1. Ocean's Thirteen, $37.1 million; 2. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, $21.3 million; 3. Knocked Up, $20 million; 4. Surf's Up, $18 million; 5. Shrek the Third, $15.75 million; 6. Hostel: Part II, $8.75 million; 7. Mr. Brooks, $5 million; 8. Spider-Man 3, $4.4 million; 9. Waitress, $1.65 million; 10. Disturbia, $550,000.

George Clooney has issued a $1 million challenge to anyone who can prove he's behind the leak of internet outtakes of I Heart Huckabees. The footage, featuring actress Lily Tomlin and director Davd O. Russell screaming at one another, hit cyberspace late last week, and Clooney, who famously fell out with the moviemaker when they made Three Kings together, has been linked to the leak. But, in a statement released yesterday, the movie star wrote: "Contrary to popular opinion, neither the sound man, Ed Tise, nor yours truly sent in the David O. Russell tape. I saw it (footage) when we were working on Ocean's Twelve, and there have been quite a few copies traveling around town for the last couple of years. Any rumor that either of us put it on the internet is simply false." And Clooney is so keen to prove his innocence he's offering a huge reward if anyone can prove he was behind the leak. He adds, "(I will) offer a million bucks to anyone who would prove otherwise."
