"Love Guru" opens with $14 million.

'Get Smart,' the big screen version of the classic 1960's TV spy comedy, finished No. 1 at the box office this weekend by bringing in an estimated $39.1 million, studio projections showed.  

The Warner Bros action comedy stars STEVE CARELL as bumbling secret agent Maxwell Smart, who teams up with his lovely sidekick Agent 99 (ANNE HATHAWAY) to battle an evil crime nemesis known as KAOS. 

The other major weekend opening, Paramount's 'The Love Guru,' finished in fourth place with an estimated $14 million, falling far short of predictions that were in the $20 million range.

Funnyman MIKE MYERS stars in 'The Love Guru' as an American named Pitka who is left at the gates of an ashram in India as a child and raised by gurus. He later returns to the U.S. to seek fame and fortune in the world of self-help and spirituality. 

The film, which cost about $62 million to make, also stars JESSICA ALBA and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.

The DreamWorks animated comedy 'Kung Fu Panda' finished in second place for the second week in a row, earning an estimated $21.7 million. The family-oriented feature utilizes the voices of JACK BLACK, ANGELINA JOLIE and DUSTIN HOFFMAN, as it tells the story of a panda named Po who pursues his dream of becoming a Kung Fu master.

'The Incredible Hulk,' a $150 million collaboration between Marvel Studios and Universal Pictures, fell from first last week to third this weekend, making an estimated $21.6 million. The action flick stars EDWARD NORTON as scientist Bruce Banner, who desperately hunts for a cure to gamma radiation that poisons his cells and transforms him into a rage-filled green monster.  

Finishing in fifth place was M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN's 'The Happening,' with an estimated $10 million for the weekend. The $60 million thriller stars MARK WAHLBERG as a teacher who takes his family on the run to escape a natural crisis presenting a large-scale threat to humanity.
