After G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra's $55 million box-office victory last week nearly sent you running for the Canadian border, there's hope: Not only was the well-reviewed District 9 the country's No. 1 movie this weekend, last night's Mad Men season-three premiere was watched by 2.8 million people, the show's largest-ever audience. Nice work, America! [Box Office Mojo, Live Feed/HR]
