Weekend Box Office: Jackie Chan Kicks Russell Brand’s Head In
This edition of the weekend box office was supposed to be all about Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the Judd Apatow comedy that stars Russell Brand and some bloke's todger. But, oddly enough, Forgetting Sarah Marshall isn't number one at the US weekend box office this week. That plaudit goes to The Forbidden Kingdom, a movie starring Jackie Chan, Jet Li and the second-weediest kid from the last series of 24. What does The Forbidden Kingdom's weekend box office triumph over Forgetting Sarah Marshall tell us about the state of modern cinema? Is it that audiences still aren't accustomed to seeing penises in their movies? Is it that the thrill of seeing cinema's greatest living kung-fu artists in the same movie overpowers everything else? No. It's that people would rather watch two old men kicking each other than Russell Brand in anything.
