Biggest August Opening Weekends

I've mentioned before that August is generally not known for large openings. Looking at the chart below, I think one gains a greater appreciation for G.I. Joe's and Julie & Julia's opening weekends, which are both now among the just 31 August releases to open with $20m or more. G.I. Joe's opening is the 4th largest ever, while Julie & Julia's comes in at #31.
