A pretty dull weekend if you ask me. And you did, so I told you! Tracking and most other predix have Other Guys in the high 30's and Step Up in the mid to high teens. I'm going softer on Other Guys because the movie looks so bleh to me and higher on Step Up because I think the morons who liked the first 2 will want to see the third installment in 3D!!! 3D!!! And these dumbass dance movies have a way of surprising. I'd also like to point out Step Up 3D is by the same guy who produced this year's Oscar telecast. Further proof he should never be invited back. Next week looks much more promosing with Julia, Michael Cera and all the action guys. Till then...
