That said, it earned enough quasi-positive reviews from folks I trust that I will absolutely check it out early next week. Six years ago, This is the End opened with $20 million Fri-Sun and a $33 million Wed-Sun weekend against the $128 million Fri-Sun launch of Man of Steel. Although, for what it’s worth, MGM’s Hispanic-targeted Overboard remake opened with $14.5 million this weekend last year. UglyDolls, a long-in-development movie based on an early 2000s-era toy line, opened with mixed reviews and zero buzz this weekend. It’s an Alibaba Pictures co-production, so it’ll get 40% of its eventual China box office instead of the standard 25%.
