Exactly one month before it was set to open last October, Wanderlust was bumped back to its current Feb. 24 release date. That late move, combined with the fewest theaters for a Judd Apatow production over a decade, seems to indicate that distributor Universal Pictures has had a tough time coming up with the right strategy for the movie. Star Paul Rudd and director David Wain's last collaboration, Role Models, opened to 19.2 Million in November 2008, and one would think adding Jennifer Aniston for Wanderlust would only help matters. Unfortunately, while Aniston is coming off of two 100 Million movies, she's also recently starred in duds like The Switch and Love Happens, which debuted to 8.4 Million and 8.1 Million, respectively. Based on current tracking, Universal is expecting an opening of less than 10 Million. Very disappointing numbers for Jennifer Aniston.

Sorry Nicole, couldn't wait. And thanks to LightandDarkness for providing me this information
at a movie full of nobodys (Act of Valor) doing better than Aniston's movie.
at older movies doing better than Ani's film.
at Vanessa Hudgens (Journey 2) outgrossing Aniston.
at Aniston being topless in this movie and doing a trio but still no one cares.
Let the Bloodbath of Wanderlust begin!
