Don't hate, I know this looks horrible, but I can't help but giggle at the trailer. I love silly movies like this. They're my guilty pleasure.

This looks very bad.

I have this pegged for a high single digits opening next weekend. This should've been dumped on Netflix.

More mid digits I think. Paramount having three bombs before thanksgiving is really bad.

You and my youngest have something in common - the rest of the family is like hell, no...but he's a hell yes.  I told him I might take him to the cheapo as a Christmas present by Thanksgiving (b/c I can't see this staying longer).

 

That being said, I've always thought it will out open Arctic Dogs...and after this weekend, that small victory seems all but certain...

I am begnning to think it the Movie Gods cursing Paramount with Bad Karma for turning down "The Irishman".

I drive passed this billboard going to work every day.   Which is surprising because Milwaukee never gets movie billboards

Oh it will out-open Arctic Dogs. Not even $3M this weekend for that. I think there's just enough family appeal with this one to get to $10M. Maybe I'm overestimating though.

Looks like this could end up doing alright. Tracking for a low to mid teens opening. I'm not sure what the budget is though.

Well...it didn't come in last of the new openers. It opened to $12,723,781, just ahead of Last Christmas's $11.4M. It has a shot for some decent legs for another couple weeks before Frozen II hits.

Chris Stuckmann's review had me in stitches.
