Warm Bodies opened to a great $20.3 million on the Superbowl weekend, and it’s also a really good film. Stand Up Guys opened to $1.5 million at 659 theaters, which is pretty decent. However, Sly proves that this is not a good year for solo outings for The Expendables co-stars. Arnie’s vehicle, The Last Stand, only grossed $6.2 million in its opening weekend; and Jason Statham’s vehicle, Parker, only grossed $7 million in its opening weekend. Click the title for my review.

Well, I guess I need to go see Bullet to the Head about 448,000 times to help it out a bit.
You’re a funny guy, thanks for making me laugh.
You seriously think that Bullet to the Head is that bad?
That’s what I’d call self-sacrifice, lol! Did you see it this weekend?
