should have been in the charts since december considering its a comic book movie and its imdb buzz isnt too high either)

Other than the R-rating, I don't see why The Number 23 would open less than, say, Secret Window.

Jim Carrey's name sells comedies, not drama or thrillers.Look at Majestic and Man on the Moon. The Truman show is debatable since the trailer sold it like a Carrey comedy.

Yeah.

I also don't think the premise is terribly appealing to a mainstream audience, and Carrey's starpower has dwindled some of late. I would be surprised if The Number 23 made more than $60-65M, probably not even that much.

I think Norbit is going to be huge. The ads have actually been pretty good, and it has a famous black comedian dressing up as a fat woman.. what can go wrong?

$34M opening
$115M total

Also, Tyler Perry is going to beat Ghostrider, Bridge To Terabithia is going to have fantastic legs after a modest opening (think Holes, and Reno: 911 is going to beat The Number 23.
