Sandra Bullock Tops Box Office Again With The Proposal
Monday, June 22, 2009 01:53:05 PM
Sandra Bullock is back on top. The star of "Speed", "Miss Congeniality", and "Crash" had her new movie, "The Proposal", come in at number one this past weekend. It was Sandra's first number one movie in ten years.
The romantic comedy took in over 34 million dollars over the weekend. "It definitely met and exceeded our expectations," said Mark Zoradi, president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Group. "In a summer with a lot of sequels, it's always nice to have an original movie."
Sandra's last box office leading movie in North America was "Forces of Nature," which co-starred Ben Affleck, back in 1999. Her previous best opening was $17.6 million for her most recent film, "Premonition," in March 2007.
In "The Proposal", Sandra stars as a book executive who fakes an engagement to her assistant (Ryan Reynolds) to avoid deportation to her native Canada. The laughs ensue when she meets his parents, with "Golden Girls" veteran Betty White stealing the show.
