But apparently Lincoln Lawyer is actually good? Go figure. I originally thought Paul would do the least of these given Pegg & Frost's track record of high teens/low twenties grossers, but I think it looks the best of the three openers and I guess there hasn't been too many broad comedies of late (Hall Pass and Just Go With It both have shown decent legs). Despite also pulling in okay reviews, Limitless has a dumb plotline and will be a non-starter. I'm kinda happy Mars Needs Moms bombed as big as it did as it looked genuinely creepy. $150m budget, and it will only make about $25m. Awesome.
