Kevin Hart is officially a star. It's Chris Tucker redux. Hopefully Hart can have a longer career than Tucker. Tucker seemed to just ride the success of Rush and live off of the money he received for it. Hart is on his way to being a 20 million per film man now.

Yeah, who would've thought a PG-13 comedy would be successful on a four-day weekend? 
Also, The Nut Job currently holds the highest opening weekend in Open Road Films' two-and-a-half year history. Can someone explain to me how the fuck they're still in business?
