Will Smith's romantic comedy, Hitch, entered the US and Canada box office chart at number one this weekend.
The movie, which took $45.3m (£18.7m) over Valentine's weekend, sees the Fresh Prince play a New York "love doctor" who develops wooing problems of his own.
The movie heads a top three of Sony-distributed movies, along with Boogeyman and Are We There Yet?. The BBC quotes Sony's head of distribution Rory Bruer as saying: "Will Smith certainly delivers, doesn't he? He's one of those rare stars that appeals to everyone, men, women, and children.
"There's no doubt he's somewhat of a king of action, but he is every bit as good in comedy."
The US and Canada box office chart pans out as follows:
1) Hitch - $45.3m (£18.7m)
2) Boogeyman - $10.8m (£5.74m)
3) Are We There Yet? - $8.5m (£4.5m)
4) Million Dollar Baby - $7.6m (£4m)
5) Pooh's Heffalump Movie - $4.7m (£2.5m)
