Could Contraband actually make 100 million?

[Totem]

nope. It would need another 50m off of a 12m weekend, just won't happen.

[Hiccup]

Great for Underworld 4 and Red Tails

Is the Haywire "D+" like the "F" that Devil Inside got? If you averaged it correctly, Devil got a C/C-, so I wonder what Haywire really got. I've heard nothing but good things about Haywire, so that grade is suprising.

Wasnt the actress from Haywire's lines redubbed by someone who could act?Thats whats putting me off going to see it, she's a wrestler.Great for Underworld 4, which was mindless entertainment.

[Caboose]

Not a wrestler, MMA fighter. Big difference.

They have updated for a 4th time and now have Underworld Awakening at $10.2M for Saturday.

No, it is Carano's voice, but it was slightly altered to sound deeper, to distinguish it from her MMA/American Gladiator days.

Main point - Not an actress.

[Hatebox]

Main point - Not an actress.

In fairness the only good thing about the movie is the fight scenes. Youreally believe she could beat all the men - can't think of any current actresses that could pull that off frankly.

That doesn`t matter. Actors make you believe in the character even when action is obviously done by the stunt double. One believes in Terminator even though Arnie`s double is way obvious in all scenes where he doubles him.Actors are not supposed to be super athlets. They act. Acting makes you buy the character, not actor`s ability to fight.Carano is not an actress and D at Cinemascore indicates that people didn`t believe her character no matter how well-done fighting was.
