Vegas-themed comedy opens well; plus new video of the Vegas premiere

It was a good financial weekend for the latest Vegas-themed flick, "Get Him to the Greek," costarring Jonah Hill and Russell Brand. As Box Office Mojo reports:

"While it wasn't the next early June comedy sensation like Hangover or Knocked Up, Get Him to the Greek rocked an estimated $17.4 million on approximately 3,200 screens at 2,697 venues, ranking as the third-biggest opening on record for a music comedy, behind Be Cool and School of Rock. Music comedies tend to fail at the box office (Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny, The Rocker, etc.), but Get Him to the Greek focused more on the comedic trip than the music in its marketing. That led to a debut closer to its predecessor Forgetting Sarah Marshall ($17.7 million) as well as I Love You, Man ($17.8 million) and Role Models ($19.2 million). Distributor Universal Pictures' exit polling indicated that 53 percent of the audience was male and 55 percent was under 30 years old."
