I haven't seen it, but the first ones were pretty funnt, should be interesting to see how much it slips in week 2 as Pirates comes out this Thursday.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The big green ogre keeps getting bigger.
"Shrek the Third" took in $122 million in its first weekend, breaking the franchise's own record for best debut ever for an animated film, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The latest adventure of the ogre shot past 2004's "Shrek 2," the previous record-holder for animated openings with $108 million.

I thought it was good, met expectations.

Anyone think The Simpsons has a shot at breaking it?

Took the kids on Saturday. My nine-year loved it and my not quite five-year old was into it, too. I don't know if it was the "best" of the three, whatever that means, but I enjoyed it more than the other two.

I went with my Girlfriends family, the six year old loved it, but her two year old niece said she was scared by it. Overall the movie seemed rushed and wasnt nearly as funny as the second one.

I doubt it. I don't think going to The Simpsons will be the family outing that Shrek is. Though if it's good I could see it grossing more in the end due to the teen/young adult repeat viewings.
