Nikki drank too much boxed wine and fell asleep?

Nikki, tell Jack Daniels to frak off and give us numbers !!!!

Yea, this kind of sucks.  You'd think Nikki was religious or something.  I thought the only thing she prayed to was:

I just got a text from Shawn about the numbers.  He hasn't give me the green light yet to report what he told me, so I can't say yet, but that tweet you posted is something similar to what he told me as well.

Johnny Depp’s ‘Transcendence’ Laying an Egg at the Box Office

 

The race looks to be a repeat of last weekend’s sequel showdown between Disney-Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and Fox’s “Rio 2,” which are each tracking for $25 million-plus.

“Rio 2” looks to benefit from the holiday timeframe as the number of children on spring break doubled this weekend from 10 to 20%. The 3D comedy could win this weekend by a beak, as it stands to earn an estimated $27 million-plus — roughly $2 million more than “Captain America.”

 

Meanwhile, Warner Bros.’ “Transcendence” is headed for a soft $16 million-plus launch. The sci-fi thriller, which reportedly cost $100 million to produce, may suffer from the lack of word-of-mouth and its poor reviews (pic currently has 19% Rotten Tomatoes meter). “Transcendence” could make up for the loss overseas thanks to a day-and-date release in China.

 

Another new weekend entry, Sony’s “Heaven Is for Real” (A CinemaScore) is hoping to capitalize on the recent success of faith-themed pics. The Christian drama is en route for an $18 million weekend — a third place finish ahead of “Transcendence.”

I don't care whether it can win the weekend or not, 25M for Cap would be great.
