Meanwhile, counter-programming the Man Of Steel juggernaut this weekend is Sony/Columbia Pictures’ raunchy apocalyptic comedy This Is The End (3,055 theaters). It received a ‘B+’ CinemaScore from audiences and 82% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and a #1 reception Wednesday. With a dearth of both ‘R’-rated movies or well-received laughers in the marketplace, pic made $6.8M on Friday and projected $20.5M for the 3-day weekend, and $32M for the 5-day cume - about what it cost.
I just literally came in from seeing it.
It was worth every 80% that Rotten Tomatoes gave it.
Has to be one of the most original comedies I've seen for the last decade.
I kind of feel bad for this movie. From what I hear its a great movie but it came out on a bad month. It has made a decent amount of money this weekend but with Superman, Monsters University, and World War Z I see this movie getting lost in the shuffle. They should have released it when there was less competition.
