NEW Box Office Report: '2 Guns' No. 1 Friday With $10 Million; 'Smurfs 2' Falls to No. 3

Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington's action pic 2 Guns topped the Friday box office with $10 million on its way to a $28 million debut, easily enough to win the box office race in North America. The filmmakers had hoped to hit $30 million, considering the combined star power of Washington and Wahlberg, who haven't appeared together before on the big screen.

Suffering from a glut of family product, Sony's The Smurfs 2 may only earn $17.5 million for the three-day weekend for a five-day opening of $27 million, less than hoped for and putting it at No. 3 behind 2 Guns and The Wolverine (the CGI/live action hybrid rolled out on Wednesday). The studio is expecting to make up ground overseas, with one executive noting, "expect big news."

At the specialty box office, Lindsay Lohan's erotic thriller The Canyons is doing so-so business at the IFC Center in New York. The film, directed by Paul Schrader and written by Bret Easton Ellis, is projected to earn $25,000 for the weekend, although it could be a huge draw on VOD.

From Icelandic director Baltasar Kormakur, 2 Guns is the latest summer film to tie its fortunes primarily to males. It's also expected to appeal to African-American moviegoers.

The R-rated action pic, earning a B+ CinemaScore, infused with a heavy dose of humor, cost between $80 million and $90 million to produce, although the net budget was $61 million after tax incentives. Emmett/Furla Films and Foresight Unlimited financed and produced the film, with Foresight Unlimited handling international rights. The film project generated huge interest among foreign distributors, with Sony Worldwide Acquisitions Group buying rights to much of the world.

Universal is distributing the movie in the U.S., with Entertainment One is handling  more bullish box-office observers believe it could hit $30 million. At those numbers, 2 Guns would debut in line with other genre pics in which the two actors have appeared.
