LOL did you even see either The Heat or Spy? None of the humor in either of those movies revolved at all around her weight. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like her best comedies come from Paul Feig. Although from the looks of it Ghostbusters may be excluded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannastop Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) The rotten tomatoes is looking like garbage. Still, it's not like critics like her other movies. It still has a shot at #1 this weekend. Edited April 6, 2016 by cannastop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 screen theater that typically shows indie and older-skewing mainstream releases in the shopping plaza where I work usually gets her movies, including Spy last year (they aren't going to be showing The Boss, though). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockingjay Raphael Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Holy fuck, I just noticed now that Spy got a 3.8x multiple in the middle of summer, with at least $23m, this has chances at surpassing Tammy..... 7 movies above $80m since her break out back in 2011, there's a woman in America that is a bigger draw than Melissa these days?

forg Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) I think it will open below 20M but she did heavy promotion for the movie though plus she announced on Ellent that she is finally appearing on the Gilmore Girls Netflix movies so that's added coverage for her (the timing is perfect, maybe a PR strategy). We will see but I don't see it going over 100M. Maybe close to Tammy Edited April 8, 2016 by forg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Take this with a grain of salt, but it's nice when my theatre gets more business than it expected. We have a high school soccer tourney in town so a few teams came to The Boss, as well as (I think) a seniors group or something. Add in the general audience and The Boss is going to have a Thursday preview number anywhere from 4.2-4.7+ here which is crazy for the type of movie.

It can't be a coincidence that they figured a way for her to return to Gilmore the same day her new movie opens. Specially one that she wrote, produced, and stars. She wanted to take advantage of the power of a dedicated fandom, which is fair game, I guess. Edited April 8, 2016 by The47th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Identity Thief and Tammy were both horrible imo. This looks horrible too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
