The 40 Year Old Virgin has been getting outstanding reviews (89% Fresh at Rotten Tomatoes) and managed to overcome its horrible, horrible title; coming in first at the box office this weekend (~20million). This only leads me to believe that this movie could have pulled 25-30 with a decent name... and Carrell still has to deal with being known for his 40 Year Old Virgin for the rest of his career (I guess he could do some kind of action or dramatic role to "cleanse the palette", but I don't see that happening for him any time soon).
Finally, considering that its big competition next week is going to be that Brothers Grimm monstrosity; 40 Year Old Virgin has a fair chance of racking up consecutive victories. Then again, The Force* is strong with Matt Damon and Heath Ledger.
* - "The Force" being the teenage female audience that runs mainstream media.
