What was it?

High teens ...

It's a huge triumph for original films not based on pre-existing material.

I would hope Channing Tatum's life counts as pre-existing material...

Tracking was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay off for Magic Mike. I mean waaay off.

Just another example of how "tracking" is about as useful as a sweaty ballsack when it comes to lady-films.

Must have been a RS number

Every man is different. No need for the crude comparisons!

I didn't even realize I was making a dick joke.. damn!

[Ezen Baklattan]

at 20 screen theaters that put Magic Mike on just one screen. It had a $6.6k PTA on Friday alone!

MTC only missed TA's opening by 70M

Looking back MTC had Ted in the low 30s, MM at 19m and Madea at 28m. At least they got close with Madea but they missed on TED too.Awesome, Awesome weekend.

Well, since studios always make excuses when original concepts perform well (there's an article about their response to Inception that's pretty pathetic), that's probably what they'll say. But most people who went to MM probably didn't know anything about Tatum's past.
