In another post I reported that the film would morelikely do $50-60, and would not break the R-Rated record set by Matrix Reloaded. And guess what it didn't. And yes, I do get to screen all the films early. Lost critical respect? Are you joking? Meta Critic says the average review rating is around 50%, which is not good. I gave the film a 6.5 out of 10, which was actually higher than most other professional reviews. That said, financial sucess does not mean the movie is good. Look at Wild Hog's numbers from last week. Or even Little Man's numbers from last year. Popular usually means crap (music: Britney...etc) First off, the $40 million prediction was that of Warner Bros, not me.

Did you bother to screen the film yourself? You actually get paid to write a column based on the opinion of others? What a friggin waste for SlashFilm. You got them fooled. They should revoke your college degree Peter Sciretta. Prepare to eat a huge CROW pie. I bet you lost critical respect from your peers. HA!
