Maggie Simpson Speaks!

(Note: This isn't a spoiler. It's a suggestion to stick around and watch the credits rather than bolting from the theater.)



I think what Maggie says during the closing credits of The Simpsons Movie will prove to be prophetic.

LOS ANGELES -- Woo Hoo! "The Simpsons Movie" turned doughnuts into dollars over the weekend, raking in $71.9 million to debut as the top movie this week.

The big screen tale of the lovable, if dysfunctional, family rolled over the competition, sending last week's top movie, Universal Studio's "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry," into second place with $19 million, a 44 percent drop.

...The film, which featured the antics of yellow-hued Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and a host of motley characters, grossed an average of $18,320 on 3,922 screens across the country and also opened strongly in 70 foreign markets.

"We are ecstatic," said Chris Aronson, senior vice president for distribution at 20th Century Fox. "It far exceeded even the most optimistic of expectations."

Maggie knows what she's talking about.

What does Maggie say?

I'm not talking.
