WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra wins the weekend with a slightly better-than-expected 56.2 million; once critics got to see it, the flick ended up at 38 percent on the Tomatometer, so we'll see what the drop is next weekend.  Julie and Julie finished second with 20 million -- a strong showing for the subject-matter.  G-Force is in the third slot after another 45 percent drop, with 9.8 million. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince dropped 50 percent to the fourth slot with 8.8 million; the latest installment has now earned 273.8 million in North America, and crossed the 500 million mark in overseas grosses.  Funny People skidded from first to fifth with 7.9 million -- a 65 percent drop that looks very unfunny for Universal. Below the fold, A Pefect Getaway opened soft in seventh place.  Meanwhile, 500 Days of Summer climbed into the Top Ten on only 817 screens, with the third-highest per-screen average of the weekend.  Overall, the Top 12 this weekend was up about 20 million over last year.

IRAN: The State Department's intelligence analysts continue to think that Tehran will not be able to produce weapons-grade uranium before 2013, an assessment at odds with German intellignce and the head of the UN's nuclear watchdog agency, both of which thin Kiran could have a bomb in as little as six months.

AFGHANISTAN: NATO's new chief called Friday for additional reinforcements, and the alliance announced the deaths of eight more US and British troops as violence worsens in the eight-year-old war's deadliest phase. The US and British governments plan to spend millions of dollars over the next two months to try to persuade Afghan farmers not to plant opium poppy, by far the country's most profitable cash crop and a major source of Taliban funding and official corruption.
