...Monday update: Final figures for the weekend showed that Wimpy Kid did even better than its estimate, with $22.1 million, while The Bounty Hunter was a bit under its forecaste, at $20.7 million. Green Zone actually earned $6.113 million to finish fifth, ahead of She's Out of My League ($5.8 million) and just a few thousand dollars below Repo Men ($6.126 million). Alice in Wonderland was still the big winner, with a $34.2 million final tally...

Bordered on the west by the Suez Canal Zone and on the east by Israel and the volatile Gaza Strip, North Sinai is home to a thriving cross-border smuggling trade and a sometimes rebellious local Bedouin population. Mwafi says the skills of his previous job have come in handy in governing Egypt's wild east. "As the director of military intelligence," he explains, "I had very good relations with the director of Israeli military intelligence." He adds that representatives of the two forces meet "every...
