If this gets bad reviews we know the real reason:

Melissa McCarthy really can open a comedy:

 

Ghostbusters $46,000,000

The Heat $39,000,000

Identity Thief $34,000,000

Spy $29,000,000

Bridesmaids $26,000,000

The Boss $23,600,000

Tammy $21,600,000

 

All of her starring openings have been over $20m. Her comedies have totalled more than $850m in the US (not including Hangover 3, Back Up Plan, St Vincent etc). 

 

Will this continue her run?

I have it pegged at a $24M opening. Sunday's gonna be a big day for it with it being Mother's Day.

Yeh, Snatched increased 24% on the Sunday last year, despite already increasing 29% on its Saturday. It’s weekend multiplier was 3.9x.

So apparently they are scaling back on the number of theaters this is going too. The one theater I work for was suppose to get this on Friday but WB isn't giving it to us. Granted we are a smaller theater but yeah.

You’d be surprised what a drunk, horny, college-aged American male would do.

Well yeah but not one that looks like that

As is usually the case when reviews are embargoed until the date of release, they are brutal for LOTP. Here is the RT blurb from The Guardian:

 

“McCarthy remains the life of the party, but this is not a party you'll want to attend.”

Eesh.

So much for those early Letterboxd reactions. This is another Snatched.

This will probably suck because of how early it's being rated. Don't @ me when I turn out to be right.

 

I'm @'ing you because you turned out to be right

SHOCKER!

 

Any non-holiday themed movie that's rated 11 months in advance should automatically be a red flag until proven otherwise (IE A Star Is Born is already rated but has strong buzz).

Reviews don't really matter as it'll make a decent amount domestically and the budget is fairly low so it could make say $70-80m and still make a profit for WB.

My fave blurb so far:

 

"McCarthy and Falcone are clearly in love, and it's nice they like to do things together, but does it have to be movies?"

[Jonwo]

McCarthy works better when she's not working with her husband!
