LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Ben Stiller's new comedy "The Heartbreak Kid" barely registered a pulse at the weekend box office in North America, in a badly timed setback for its underappreciated studio DreamWorks.
The raunchy remake of a 1972 Neil Simon movie opened at No. 2, with an estimated $14 million during its first three days, the studio said on Sunday.
It failed to take the No. 1 spot from last weekend's champ, "The Game Plan," which earned $16.3 million. A week ago another high-profile star vehicle, "The Kingdom," also had to settle for a No. 2 opening.www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSN0440850820071007?feedType=RSS&feedName=entertainmentNews&rpc=22&sp=true

14 million is bad ?
My brother went and saw it and he said it was one of the funniest movies he has ever seen.

From what I've read, Stiller's remake of "Heatbreak Kid" is barely recognizable from the original movie. The original was aces, which I've rented, & Charles Grodin killed in it.
