Three years on and I'm back. How very curious. And quite random. There are four openings of note this weekend. The big opener is sure to be Jackass Number 2 . The first Jackass opened at 21 million or so a few years ago, when it was much nearer the height of its popularity. The box office has also been a little weak lately, but I'm really wishy washy on this one. Could go either way, but I'm saying it'll have a $18.5M opening weekend over its 2750 or so theatres.
Jimmy Franco's Flyboys will take in a little more than expected, opening at $7.2M over 2000 theatres.
Jet Li's Fearless will beat out Flyboys for the action bucks, and take in $9.2 in 1800 theatres.
Last but not least (well, probably least) is Sean Penn's All the King's Men will come in with $4.7M in 1500 theatres.
If you absolute must bet, take Jackass Under 21 at +164 for 2 units, but I don't love any of the lines.
