Opening Friday:

 

"My Baby's Daddy" (Eddie Griffin, Anthony Anderson, Michael Imperioli)

 

"Chasing Liberty" (Mandy Moore)

 

So in other words, it'll be #1 next Friday as well.

 

This movie will easily get 400 mill at this rate.

 

Although....Mandy Moore might pull an upset.

Nah, LOTR will be number one again, though the Mandy Moore movie will probably come close, I'm guessing about 23 mil. My Baby's Daddy, meanwhile, will get 15 at the very most.

I see no reason to suspect any type of upset from Mandy Moore. If that somehow happened, that is right there 1980 US hockey team in upset lore. How to Deal only grossed 14 mil and A Walk to Remember (I think her biggest movie) only grossed 41 mil. So her films were never big to begin with and her stock is dropping.

There's a "Mandy Moore" BUTT shot in Chasing Liberty (It's really a BUTT double, dammit I don't know why I watch ET on VH1 but that's where it was). Mmmm now if I knew it was really her ass than that's worth the $8 admission alone.

I don't see RotK losing to Mandy Moore... or her ass.

Isn't RotK over 1 Billion dollars now, globably?

Steve Martin & Nicholson are cleaning up the non-LOTR crowd.

What was the point of a body double? I mean it's just a BUTT shot, NO BIG DEAL. Will guys jerk off to it? Sure. Will it mean more money for the film? HELL YEAH!
