FWIW, The Adjustment Bureau is nowhere near having the biggest opening of
Matt Damon's career, but it *is* the biggest opening of any Matt Damon
film that wasn't an ensemble film of some sort (True Grit, The Departed,
Saving Private Ryan, the Ocean's trilogy) or a Bourne film.

Also FWIW, Rango had the 6th-biggest opening of Johnny Depp's career,
behind Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Tim Burton's Alice
in Wonderland, and the three Pirates of the Caribbean movies. It is also
the only one of those six films that wasn't based on an existing property
(i.e. it's the only one that had no built-in "brand name" recognition).

LOS ANGELES - "Rango" has lassoed the top spot at the box office.
The animated Paramount film featuring Johnny Depp as the voice of a Wild
West chameleon sheriff rode into town with a $38 million debut, according
to studio estimates released Sunday.
"Rango," which was directed by "Pirates of the Caribbean" film franchise
maestro Gore Verbinski, is the first animated feature from Industrial
Light and Magic, the special effects studio founded by George Lucas in
1975.
"The draw for audiences was certainly Johnny Depp and Gore Verbinski, but
when you look at the reviews, it was 88 percent positive on Rotten
Tomatoes, which is a level that Pixar operates at," said Don Harris,
Paramount's executive vice president for distribution. "This is a film
that has a shot at being nominated for Academy Awards this time next
year."
Universal's mind-bending thriller "The Adjustment Bureau," starring Matt
Damon and Emily Blunt, debuted in the No. 2 spot with $20.9 million. CBS
Films' fantasy tale "Beastly" with Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens
opened at No. 3 with $10.1 million, rounding out the weekend's top three
films. It was another down weekend for Hollywood, with grosses coming in
less than the corresponding weekend last year.
"Comparisons to a year ago are tough considering that's when 'Alice in
Wonderland' opened with $116.1 million," said Hollywood.com analyst Paul
Dergarabedian, referring to the Tim Burton film. "We're not even in that
realm this year, so this is our second down weekend in a row. We've only
had one up weekend at the box office versus a year ago. There's this
malaise overtaking the marketplace."
The raunchy Warner Bros. comedy "Hall Pass" stayed committed in its second
weekend in the No. 4 position with $9 million. The 3-D animated Walt
Disney romance "Gnomeo and Juliet" also kept that loving feeling going in
its fourth weekend with $6.9 million in the No. 5 spot, despite an
animated showdown against "Rango," which was not released in 3-D.
"The King's Speech," the royal chronicle from the Weinstein Co. that ruled
last week's Academy Awards with 12 wins, maintained the No. 7 place this
weekend with $6.5 million. Dergarabedian noted that audiences who wanted
to see the Oscar front-runner starring Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush
likely rushed to see the film before the Academy Awards telecast.
The weekend's other wide release, Relativity Media's throwback comedy
"Take Me Home Tonight" starring Topher Grace and Anna Faris, only took
home $3.5 million in the No. 11 spot. The box-office war will heat up with
another barrage of movies opening next weekend, which includes the sci-fi
saga "Battle: Los Angeles" and the PG-13 fairytale "Red Riding Hood."
