The showdown of the two $20 million men ended with Rubberface out-earning the Fresh Prince by a little more than $2 million. Jim Carey's Yes Man, co-starring Zooey Deschanel and directed by Peyton Reed (Down with Love, The Break-Up), took in $18.2 million in its debut weekend, while Will Smith's Seven Pounds, co-starring Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson and Barry Pepper, finished its first weekend with $16 million.
