The best thing about Bling Ring was probably the song during the opening credits. Got it on my iPod as soon as I got home. Also the guy playing the only boy in the gang was good. Other than that I cant really recommend much about it. 

 

How did you find that song?  What's the name of it?

Based on early Friday ticket sales, Paul Feig's comedy The Heat -- starring McCarthy opposite Sandra Bullock -- could near $40 million in its debut, enough to easily beat Roland Emmerich's big-budget tentpole White House Down, headlining another hot box office star, Channing Tatum.

 

White House Down, also starring Jamie Foxx, may not cross $30 million in its North American opening, a blow for Emmerich and Sony, which spent $150 million to make the pic.

I agree it is.  But do we know what these sold on HV?  

Well... that doesn't count, HV is dead. BO numbers is the only thing that matters

Still no Friday estimates though.

You know that's not true.

It is too soon to say that it won't. But if it gets confirmed and WHD doesn't pass JR, then right now Cruise is bigger than Tatum DOM.

He always has. Dude been around since 80's man.

Crown on the Ground- Sleigh Bells

I found the language excessive in TH.  In a film like Beverly Hills Cop, it fit, but in this one it just seems gratuitous imo.

I heard that was a problem with I think it was The Campaign.

Yeah, I do, I was just joking

In the film, the president of the United States (Foxx) and a wannabe Secret Service agent (Tatum) team up after the White House is invaded by terrorists and the U.S. Capitol destroyed.

Hell yeah!

It will be funny if after all of this WHD pulls a 12-13M OD.

I find the lack of off-topic in this thread disturbing.

5/5 first hour, 3/5 second hour.

I am trying to avoid bringing up cheese again

BTW-2 films will pass 100M today.

Wowww the Heat has ALOT of language. B-maids had like 23 F-words, but Heat has 158 F-words, 23 GD's, and 54 shits. I know most people, like me, arent bothered by it, especially in a movie, but you have to wonder if all that is necessary for a movie that alot of laid back soccer moms, 40 somethings, and "moms/girls night out-ers" will go see. I can honestly see that being a critism.

I always imagine that would be extremely tedious to sit there and count all the swear words in a film

5/5 first hour, 3/5 second hour. 

Something like that.
