I don't think many people thought it bombed. Coupled with the fact it opened on Halloween, destroying any chance of a decent Friday, it did fairly decent for a movie called Zack and Miri make a Porno.

Zack and Miri didn't do too bad at all. Also it had a pretty decent Mon.-Thurs. last week. AND it had to compete with two new big R-rated comedies opening and it still held its own.
It Should be able to do $35-40 million I would say. I saw it with my girl last night and we both enjoyed it. Not great but a pretty decent comedy.
Also this week there was some love for "Role" but not a lot of love for "Soul". I thought both looked watchable but prob. I'll wait till DVD for them.
Wonder if HSM3 will get to $100 million. Same for Eagle Eye.

Madagascar's opening is probably right on schedule. I actually rank the first pretty high. It doesn't hit that 'meaningful' note like most of Pixar's movies. But it's certainly enjoyable - and much better (for me and for kids in general) than that Shrek crap. I would say there are more 'belly laughs' in Madagascar than any of Pixar's movies.
I'll get around to seeing it with the kid within a few weeks. I also plan to still see Zack and Miri (probably tomorrow, Sunday).

I worked on both the Shrek and Madagascar franchises, so I appreciate your support.

Indeed. "Ice Age 2" was terrible. And let's keep David Schwimmer anywhere away from BEHIND the camera. "Run Fatboy Run" was shit. And he practically ruined "Little Britain USA".

I must admit that for the past few months I've had a hard time convincing myself to go the theaters. I just haven't seen anything released that I need to see on the big screen.
