Action hero or comedian- it doesn’t matter. Audiences love Will Smith, and they proved it by seeing his latest film, Hitch, this weekend.

Hitch, also starring Kevin James, debuted in first with box office receipts totalling $45.3 million in North America.

Boogeyman, which was in first last week, fell to second, earning a modest $10.8 million.

Ice Cube’s Are We There Yet was in third, with $8.5 million. Million Dollar Baby was in fourth, while the new Winnie the Pooh movie, Pooh’s Heffalump Movie, debuts in fifth.

The Wedding Date dropped to number 6, even though it was Valentine’s Day Weekend, earning just $5.6 million.

Hide and Seek, Sideways, the Aviator, and Meet the Fockers round out the top 10.
