He smokes a lot of marijuana in the movie and he talks dirty, but he isn't a bad guy. I havent seen the film, but thats what I have got.

Oh ok, thanks!Is he crazy/hyperactive like the alien Roger in AmericanDad?

[Gideon]

TMB & ROA are really close but none will get to 45M, now.

[whoot]

Brave? What's Brave? Wait, you mean there are other movies playing this weekend?

Damn. Well there goes $200m.

[Deep Wang]

Here my 5:00 update:Magic Mike - 709Ted - 589Madea - 327The Magic Mike number is a lot lower than this time yesterday because we had already sold out 3 evening shows. We haven't yet, but since we have sold out the first three shows today, I doubt it will slow down much.

Well, pot smokers aren't usually exactly hyperactive, but he does have a fight scene with Marky Mark.

Oh...2 consecutive non200M movies?Like...the first two Pixar (TS & ABL)!Or what about the curse of being the 13th?

lol

Ok, i trust you on that.

The bear is 100%CGI?

Last summer, we had Ceasar...this year, it's Ted!

[Jack Nevada]

The bear is 100%CGI?

Yes, they created the character with mocap, with McFarlane sporting the leotard himself.

So basically, the four biggest openers of the year will be TA, TDKR, THG and TASM. Not a bad year to be a fan of superheroes or chicks who kick ass.

[Dementeleus]

I wouldn't say that yet, Choco.

Still looks like it will drop today

TASM will not be in top 4..Top 10 maybe..

[film2kz]

twilight and/or hobbit could open higher than ASM

[Dementeleus]

twilight and/or hobbit could open higher than ASM

In fact, I'd say it's likely they both will, at this point.

Ehhhh..

[FilmBuff]

Ted was so fucking funny. One of the best comedies I've seen this year. Great crowd reception too. I could see it hitting 150+ mil.

[kayumanggi]

I think it should be against Cars II.

Whoot, CARS ll dropped bigger percentage-wise and gross-wise.

[Jack Nevada]

I really want to see Ted, it indeed looks hilarious.

Looks good for the 3 openers.

[Hiccup]

So how much Madea is making this weekend?

25M-26M which is actually pretty respectable for Tyler Perry films. Nice come back after Good Deeds disappointed.
