I know I wrote briefly about this on the Top Movies Thread.....and I said there we could have our first darkhorse of the year. Well...this movie certainly has...um...pun intended....legs.
Per Box Office Mojo it did $3M on Monday and $3.4M on Tuesday. I tried to go last night with my wife and some friends....on a freaking Wednesday night at 7:45....and it was sold out when we got there at 7:30.
This movie is getting tremendous word of mouth. It's hardly going to drop this weekend....if at all. It is at 89% on Rotten Tomatoes (Pirates, by the way is getting trounced - below 40% currently). And women are starting to flock to go see it. My wife was lukewarm on it before, but then heard that not only was it funny, but that as a woman she "owed" it to other women to go see this show.
And, having seen it already...I can say it is not a chick flick. It's funny.
Would not surprise me at all if this movie ended up near $200M when all is said and done.
