Box Office: Homer & Co. Rolling in D'oh!

Cowabunga, dude!
The Simpsons Movie didn't just open big, it opened Homer's-belly big! With a haul of $71.9 million, it was not only the No. 1 flick of the week, it was also the fifth biggest debut of the year. Rounding out the top five are
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, with a $19.1 million take;
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, adding $17.1 million to its kitty;
Hairspray, catching another $15.6 million in its Miss Baltimore Crab nets; and the new
Catherine Zeta-Jones romcom
No Reservations, with a paltry $11.8 million.
Of course, even Zeets' numbers looked pretty sweet compared to those of our beleaguered LiLo: Her new (last?) pic,
I Know Who Killed Me, generated only $3.4 million in ticket sales. See ya soon in
The Surreal Life house, honey.
