Heartbreak Kid is in a whole other universe than Good Luck Chuck and Eastern Promises. For one thing, the Farley Brothers are involved, and Ben Stiller is a well proven box office commodity. I'll be shocked if Heartbreak opens to less than $50 million on its opening weekend. For this time of year, it will do just fine until we hit the holiday releases in early November.

leeler OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1287 Thank you received: 10 Karma: 11	No, that's not right. I saw it and it wasn't that long. Paramount exhibitor relations says 116 minutes which seems right. It just wasn't that funny. It is nothing like Night at the museum and frankly, wasn't near as funny as There's Something about Mary. I hope it does great for you but it won't be playing in my small town theater.
