I don't hate Channing but I have always thought of him as a terrible actor. He's hilarious in this

[Gopher]

I like Charming Potato in all of his movies. Even when he's not good (i.e., in anything that's not a comedy or action pic), he's still handsome.

Could this Channing Tatum success carry through to Magic Mike?

Does he actually show his magic mike in that movie? If so I'm gonna guess yes.

[Noctis]

I was never a fan of Tatum, but I am now after 21 Jump Street.

[Hiccup]

Awesome for 21 Jump Street and Lorax. Ouch for John Carter

He was a legit stripper before so he wouldn't be shy or too averse to it. I'm guessing if he does then it will open to 50m xD

21 Jump Street was fucking amazing. So funny.

I was never a fan of Tatum, but I am now after 21 Jump Street.

I'm convinced he hired a new acting coach or something. Between this and The Vow it's like a whole new actor.

Only 3 pages? What's with this place tonight?

Nobody cares because THG is coming out next week. Edited March 17, 2012 by Magic

Too bad, an amazing movie hit theaters tonight.

[Noctis]

I'm so disappointed with John Carter. It deserves way more than it got.

[forg]

Hopefully 21 Jump Street cross 35 mil - 40 mil range. Too bad for John Carter now that I've seen it, I feel sad it's flopping

FRIDAY 11 PM, 2ND UPDATE: Welcome to another weekend of strong box office. My sources say numbers for the #1 movie, Sony Pictures/MGM co-production’ 21 Jump Street, show an opening of $13M today and $35M weekend from 3,121 theaters. ”Great news for Jump Street as it keeps growing as the night goes on,” a Sony exec tells me. Nice haul for the R-rated laugher whose budget was only around $45M. Meanwhile, #2 Universal’s Dr Seuss’ The Lorax after three weeks in release is benefitting from the fact that 24% of K-12 classes are out of school today. But Disney’s disappointing #3 holdover John Carter is still disappointing a week later — down an estimated -60% Friday. 21 Jump Street is the first successful comedy of 2012 (since Fox’s This Means War disappointed…) and reviews have been surprisingly good — not just 88% on Rotten Tomatoes but even The New York Times. (Not that this is a review-driven film.) The studio told me it was “very pleased” that the Channing Tatum-Jonah Hill starrer opened wth $700K Friday midnights from 598 theaters.

Here’s the Top 10 which will be refined tonight:

1. 21 Jump Street (MGM/Sony) NEW [3,121 Theaters] R-rated

[Robertron]

Journey now has $100m in the bag!Fantastic for 21 and amazing for The Lorax!

Looks like Standon will be running out of excuses. Poor opening we can blame the lame marketing. But bad legs?

Who is Standon?
