Opening this week in theaters was “Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” coming in second place with $21.8 million. In an extremely close third place, “The Bounty Hunter” starring Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston brought in around $21 million during opening weekend. “Repo Men,” starring Jude Law and Forest Whitaker had a lack-luster release at just about $6.15 million.
