While HBO hoped to win over audiences with a film revival of its popular show Entourage, it was competing comedy Spy that ruled the North American box office. The Paul Feig-directed James Bond spoof, starring Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham, Jude Law and Rose Byrne, took home $30 million.

Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy comedy “Spy” will open the 41st annual Seattle International Film Festival, organizers announced Wednesday. Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated actress McCarthy stars as Susan Cooper, an unassuming, deskbound CIA analyst who is the unsung hero behind the Agency’s most dangerous missions.

Another Spy trailer is here, and given that it’s probably going to play ahead of Furious 7 this weekend there’s an appropriate Jason Statham bit right at its center. “I once drove a car off a freeway on top of a train while I was on fire,” he says, seemingly describing a stunt from the Fast and the Furious franchise that he’s now a part of. He’s not in in too much of the latest Spy trailer, though, and that’s either a good thing or a bad thing. I had assumed his role was just slightly above a cameo after seeing him in the first spot.
