Two big comedies are fighting it out this weekend, but one has more action than the other, and that should spell a victory (that and about 3000 more screens). Get Smart, the update of the TV series starring Steve Carrell will open on 6,500 screen and therefore, win the box office. Love Guru, starring Mike Myers will beg for your attention on 3,700 screens.

Weekend Predictions:
1. 'Get Smart' - $38.1 million 2. 'The Love Guru' - $23.5 million 3. 'The Incredible Hulk' - $22.0 million 4. 'Kung Fu Panda' - $21.5 million 5. 'The Happening' - $11.0 million
