Julie, the opening probably means no one's gonna make a profit, which is what we're saying here.

Also, the trailer pretty much told you everything you need to know about the movie. Plus, the title sucked. Not a huge surprise.

It wasn't bad to be honest…a little cheesy at times and the action involved too much green screen / CG bullshit….but it was funny and cool and not what I expected from the man who gave us "Walk The Line"

Ok, now officially annoyed. Thur totals do not mean anything. I plan to see the film with my FEMALE friends tomorrow...

Enough with the bad opening bs.

The previews looked dumb and the jokes were boring in it, so I wouldn't be paying to watch this crap.

The problem is that it opened on a Wednesday. You DO NOT open on a Wednesday unless there is some kind of pent-up demand for your picture. I know several casual moviegoers who very much want to see this. But they are all more than able to wait until the weekend to check it out. But by splitting a theoretically solid Friday opening day ($7-11 million?) into three lukewarm days, you create the appearance of failure before the weekend even starts.

I think it was Gabe Toro who mentioned the difficulty in marketing an action comedy — exacerbated here by the baggage Cruise carries from the past. It may do better abroad where they put greater emphasis on the action. I think Cruise will still strongly push for MI4 but with concessions.

Now watch as he slowly begins to phase into the character actor/director phase of his career.
