sweet movie and definitely not a FLOP


i'm not going to pretend it's a hit... but it certainly is not a flop... it's somewhere in the middle... it's currently over 30 million and will settle in somewhere between 35 and 40... in the US

i doubt it will make much overseas since rogen is not a draw at all...

again... not a hit... a definite disappointment but the word flop has been used in the media to describe it and that's completely wrong... i think it comes from the fact that it's opening weekend was so weak but it opened on the weekend before xmas and that's always a bad 3 days and you can't compare to other normal opening weekends... becasue the next two weeks after that is like a giant holiday

it made 5 million it's opening weekend which normally would mean a gross of 15 or less and yes that would be a FLOP

but overall it's gonna do more than double that... the same business as tons of other well known fun mid level comedies

personally i liked it... not that funny but incredibly sweet and nice and it put a smile on my face
