For real.

 this one funny

Jesse and Steven tricked me into seeing Side Effects because Channing Tatum was in it.. 15 mins He's gone. Worst.movie.ever.

Then youmust really hate Rebel Wilson who is pretty much just a mini blonde Melissa McCarthy 

Who? That was my first thought.

This person has such low name recognition I had to go over to IMDB.

 

Get back to me when they are trying to open movies with her. She's beneath notice to have an opinion on at the moment.

ID Theft-yuck. Sorry hated that trailer

[Michael Gary Scott]

Rebel Wilson was great in pitch perfect one of the most underrated performances last year

[Impact]

Don't most people really hate her?

This is the first time in a long time I'm seeing both openers on OW. Saw SE today and seeing IT tomorrow (mostly because I love the leads)

[Michael Gary Scott]

I guess but I don't.

[Impact]

I think the last time I saw 2 openers on the same weekend were Muppets/Hugo (actually I think I saw Hugo on its 2nd weekend)

Yay for Sookie! Very happy for Melissa

Northeast storm having very little

impact on box office. Universal's "Identity Thief" on track for $11M

Friday and $30M for the weekend.

 

 

Wow.

Impressed with Identity Thief, I though it would do big business about a month ago but the poor reviews and lack of hype made me start to guess in the lower-20's.

[#ED]

Yet Dredd made $7-8M OW.This shit makes me sick.

[kayumanggi]

Could this be the first 100 M grosser this year?

[kitik]

Could this be the first 100 M grosser this year?

 

I doubt it. Poor reviews plus an R-rating plus a crowded release schedule means it'll fall pretty quickly after 2-3 weeks.

 

A Good Day To Die Hard and Oz The Great And Powerful should be the first two $100 million movies of the year.

[kayumanggi]

Where are the numbers?

[Impact]

Where are the numbers?

Nikki ate them again

[Bond Bug]

How in god's green earth do people turn out for such obvious shit like Identity Theft?

 

I'm over Melissa McBigMac, she's painfully playing the same role in every film. Her Sandra Bullock buddy cop film looks even worse than this. 

 

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.

I'd theft isn't a bad movie - by the numbers yes and not for someone who doesn't enjoy the occasional fast food style movie but still entertaining . Wouldn't be surprised with a horrible bosses type run and a finish around 105m.
