Here is a better idea.

Nikki Finke did exist. But unfortuntely she long died 10/5 years ago or so. But the Hollywod can not live without her. So what happened ? Hollywood just simply made her live again. Yup, that it is. The original Nikki was long dead but there will always be Nikki around. And under the name of Nikki, whoever it is, shall live long and forever.

Looking at your avatar of Jen Lawrence, I realized she`d be a perfect Nikki in a Nikki biopic. They both were/are fresh-faced healthy-cheeked blonde beauties. Edited June 30, 2012 by fishnets

Damn $18-20m for mm then? Both openers could hit $50m?!? Crazy talk...and sadly it just seems nothing is going well for TASM It really is a nightmare scenario atm.

[JackO]

What if Ted and MM both open above 50?

Why is nothing going well for TASM? reviews are good, India went nuts, iJack is alive, well and not sleeping. I see a lot of stuff going well.

I'm a little doubtful about Magic Mike's legs with the complaints of "too much plot". Seems everyone's just going for what's already been advertised.

There is no way on this planet that MM is only doing 15 today

So Prometheus and Snow White couldn't set the box office ablaze, but strippers and the teddy bear could? Who knew?

[Dementeleus]

Nikki is very popular in Hollywood. She's been mentioned on Entourage many times.

"Popular" is not the right word. Nobody can stand her.... but everyone uses her to spread their gossip and PR shit around.

[fishstick]

we dont know how Nikki looks like ...

When she was 50 back in 70s. Damn pretty.

MM to TASM:

[JackO]

Why is nothing going well for TASM? reviews are good, India went nuts, iJack is alive, well and not sleeping. I see a lot of stuff going well.

All buzz stolen by Ted and Magic Mike. Opening mid week right in the brunt of it. TDKR is lurking right after. No buzz. No presales. Lukewarm-positive reviews. TASM may have just died this weekend.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

good hold for BRAVE.Here goes FOUR MOVIES OVER 30M WEEKEND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 :o :o

Once again Nikki and da maths...

The last Madea opened to that same OD and finished with exactly $25m for the weekend, so that should be where this one is headed too, and of course MM will make at least $40m with an $18m OD.
