The original Wimpy Kid, which opened around one year ago, made over $20m in its opening weekend, but didn't have the typical family film legs. It faced How to Train Your Dragon, but this one has lighter competition for now. A #1 victory for the sequel isn't out of the question, as Sucker Punch could go either way. The reviews were held off till late, and most coming out aren't the kindest. I think the special effects and hot girrrrrls should save it from bombing spectacularly. Shocked that Limitless did as well as it did last weekend, I guess people love Cooper now.
