I wouldn't bet against him. He's got very good comedic timing.Could John Cena be on his way to being the next Dwayne the rock Johnson?
Looks hysterical...congrats man...can't wait to see it!
I mentioned earlier in the thread that the early drafts revolved around NY/NJ and mentioned Rutgers, but they were taken out in the final movie. Now it's UCLA. :(Did you plug any Rutgers references in the script?
Jim and Brian-Can't bELieve that you wrote this movie! CONGRATS! That's a h*ll of a production staff let alone cast!
Saw the ads for the movie and was hoping to catch it. Someone was already calling the movie the "female Superbad"! Looking forward as "chasing" a nutty girl at my old gym (currently a CPA in NB), I was 'blocked" by all the predators at gym-and her mother who happened to come to the gym and track me down (my Myspace hits went from 3 to 175 within 48 hours after we were simultaneously checking each out one late Saturday night) while all that crew was there. Later one referred to me as "McLovin".
Any special showings with or without you guys? At the same gym (new own ership) the girl who played the daughter in "Greek Wedding II". She had a private viewing at Manville (Reading) Cinemas with 75 friends.
Good luck with the critics and profits! As soon as you have a highly profitable megahit we could use a new multipurpose arena at Rutgers!

Long story, but the short of it is that I took the scenic route. Fordham Law School, then working for a big NYC firm and writing on the side. I decided to chase the dream, moved to LA and joined a firm out here until I sold a script, then quit the firm. I first got involved in producing based on my legal experience.Out of curiousity, how did you go from Cook college to writing and producing movies?

Thanks, man! Glad you liked it. It was a very strong opening weekend.Saw the movie today. Was hilarious great job guys!!
I am a huge fan of Leslie Mann. Her delivery is incredible.
Well done. I have a friend whom I met at my first firm, S&C, and who had a similar path. He's been writing and producing, mostly TV, for years.Long story, but the short of it is that I took the scenic route. Fordham Law School, then working for a big NYC firm and writing on the side.

Thanks! Yes, we made our budget back on week one. We're all very happy about that. It's also getting rave reviews, especially considering it's a hard R-rated comedy (those traditionally do very poorly with critics - we were also hit hard by a bunch of bogus ratings from religious/parent groups but they didn't stop the box office). The simple answer to your questions is that the better the movie does, the better we do.Brothers, CONGRATS on an incredible opening weekend!~$21.2 million and from what I read you R already at the breakeven (cost) point in terms of profitability! Sheet you came within 2 million or so of an opening weekend? Spielberg film ( that was 2nd overall). Plus "Blockers" has great word of mouth from what Ive heard.
Now in terms of RU (the new arena) maybe too little (or too much) "Entourage") but can assume you per se don't participate in terms of profitability (as in you sold the script earlier?).
I think the movie had perfect timing-the world is in need of a good s*x comedy that makes us laugh.
Look at you guys! Congrats and glad you had the cojones to follow your dreams.Long story, but the short of it is that I took the scenic route.

I don't have any contacts in that space, but if you reached out to the poster companies, I'd bet you'd get work. You have to remember that there are only so many studio movies each year (and the number is declining), so most movie posters are for indies and those producers don't pay much for their artwork.Good luck Jim! Movie looks awesome! Definitely gonna try to go see it. And hey, can you get me a job designing movie posters? Rutgers wallpapers are fun, but I always thought movie poster design would be a cool gig... preferably horror movie posters. So if you know anyone, put a good word in for me... you know where to find me. :pimp:
Yes, lots of projects going on. I'm currently writing a movie for Ice Cube, a pilot that shoots next week, four other scripts in development, and casting a movie that we wrote and are directing with Tyler Perry producing.Congrats to you guys, that's really awesome.
Are you currently working on other projects already? Or are you planning on using this success to get something made that you couldn't previously? You always hear stories about writers being able to dig back in on previously passed over scripts once they have a smash like this on their hands.

I was expecting to see 300 lb linemen.
