ROTTEN TOMATOES: Opening This Week

ROTTEN TOMATOES: Opening This Week

There are four new movies this week, each of them in at least 2500 theaters.

  • Marmaduke: 3000 theaters. It's THAT Marmaduke, the comic strip dog. No reviews yet, but I think you know what to expect.
  • Get Him to the Greek: 2700 theaters. Lowbrow comedy from the guy who did Forgetting Sarah Marshall. 77% positive reviews. This is not the usual bogus Macgruber-like early score from quote whore websites like "I Will Suck a Director's Dick dot com." It has been reviewed by five major reviewers and four of them liked it.
  • Killers: 2700 theaters. Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher. He's a suburban husband who failed to tell his wife that he's also an international super-spy. Hint: it's not a hand-wringing drama. Not reviewed yet.
  • Splice: 2500 theaters. Visually spectacular sci-fi/horror film with 82% positive reviews. Once again, this is not a bogus score. It has been reviewed by six of the top reviewers, and all six liked it.
