She is hallucinating again.

[Captain Craig]

She is a very marketable brand. The audience know what they are getting for their money, and if she can open a movie like this to anywhere near $30m, I would say that makes her the top female box office star of 2012. Sorry you have to insult anyone who sees this movie, and even more sorry anyone "likes" your post.

The truth speaks to people, those who like your post just don't see that truth.

It's a crap movie, a renter. Melissa isn't the only actor to have this affect. However, her brand of schtick tires after a few years like Johnny Knoxville, Sasha Cohen or Tom Green. She's just the first female in some time so I guess it feels unique somehow.

Current estimates?

Weak for everything besides IT. Warm Bodies died, Side Effects disappointed.

Impressive for Identity Thief. I wonder if there was no blizzard in some areas, how high could it have possibly gone to

Very impressive for IT, McCarthy's becoming a draw.

[acsc1312]

Damn. This only bodes well for The Heat

[Jack Nevada]

I just took a six hour nap. Anything new or interesting?

McCarthy is the new american Goddess.

With such limited roles in Side Effects and G.I. Joe, it's too bad we have to wait until White House Down for Tatum to truly prove his star power. Coincidentally, that weekend also brings us the Heat, which will be proving ground for McCarthy. I'm feeling a Tatum win that round. 

[Michael Gary Scott]

Well being the biggest gilmore girls fan happy to see someone from the cast succeed

[Jack Nevada]

I'd say that Channing Tatum could become the only legitimate movie star of his generation
