User blog:Ceauntay/‘Wimpy Kid’ cold-cocks ‘Sucker Punch’ at the box office

It’s going to be a “Wimpy” weekend at the box office, a final indignity to the heavily-hyped “Sucker Punch” fantasies of Zack Snyder. Based on Friday night’s numbers, “Wimpy” is going to earn well north of $30 million! And it’s not in 3D. There had been whispers, based on tracking numbers (kid and parent awareness) that suggested this, now it’s happening. “Sucker” isn’t bombing, but if it clears $20 million, it’ll have to call that a win and go home. A no-budget kids’ movie crushes the naughty visions of the director of “300.” Amazing. “Rango” cleared $100 million, “I Wanna Live The Dream”, “Limitless” and “Lincoln Lawyer” are doing very well — holding audience. “Adjustment Bureau” has cleared $50 million.
