The most expensive comedy ever made, "Evan Almighty" (insert, "I thought 'Superman Returns' was the most expensive comedy ever made" joke here) didn't draw the numbers the studio was hoping for.

 

Maybe because so many Americans were watching five seconds of this for free, laughing longer and creating more positive buzz than the studios could ever dream of. Maybe.

 

Oh well. Perhaps, fitting with the movie, a miracle will happen and no one will want to see the newest "Die Hard" this coming weekend. Everyone will be watching this action extravaganza.

 

Here's the top five movies over the weekend:

 

1. "Evan Almighty"--$32.112 million
2. "1408"--$20.175 million

3. "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer"--$20.150 million
4. "Ocean's Thirteen"--$11.345 million
5. "Knocked Up"--$10.636 million
