Harvey Weinstein and Michael Phelps

Over the weekend, MGM opened Woody Allen's latest pic, "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," on behalf of the Weinstein Co. Pic came in No. 10 for the weekend, not bad for a specialty title. But it's far too early to tell how the film will do as it expands into more theaters.

Nevertheless, Harvey Weinstein had this to say:

"Michael Phelps took the gold but we took the silver. This weekend exceeded our expectations and the film is in a position to do terrific business. The great reviews we received across the country calling it a 'funny, sexy, beautiful, end of summer film' helped us."

The silver?
