I’m not sure if it was the sound of Nicolas Cage’s soothing voice, the appearance of new comedy superstar Zach Galifianakis, or simply the prospect of cute guinea pigs in 3-D that did it, but somehow Disney’s G-Force managed to break the spell that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince held on the box office last week. Harry Potter tumbled 61% from last week to earn just $30 million, with the R-rated romantic comedy The Ugly Truth not far behind with $27 million. Orphan scared up $12.8 million in its opening weekend, while Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs rounded out the top 5. Meanwhile, Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno plummeted yet again, and will likely be out of the top 10 by next weekend. There’s a good chance it will gross less than half of Borat’s grand total when all is said and done.

1. G-Force — $32.2M
2. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince — $30M
