Smokin': Those early estimates that pegged Pineapple Express for a superb $US10 million Wednesday opening may have turned out to be conservative. Another box-office observer sends word that the year's biggest stoner comedy/Franco-sex-appeal testimonial in fact raked in $US12.15 million in its first day — a fairly staggering figure for an R-rated comedy. Bowing on a Wednesday. In the first week of August. The revised tracking also suggests Express has enough momentum to wrest box-office superiority from The Dark Knight this weekend, but we're not so sure: The same tracking suggested The Mummy 3 would have similar success last weekend (it didn't), and in any case, Express will need all of its five-day numbers — as much as $US45 million by some estimates — just to beat Dark Knight's three-day figure. Check out tomorrow morning's Defamer Attractions column, where we'll call our official shot. [Fantasy Moguls]

All the pot heads going to see this movie all hopped up on their pot are going to have to see it again because their pot made them forget what it was about...this movie could be #1 at the box office ad infinitum...

FIRST OF ALL, we pot heads CAN remember things, just not important things, like where are our car keys, or, was that stop sign ALWAYS there? But we totally remember to go to movies.

@Breadbowl: You're right, I already forgot most of the movie. I may in fact have to go see it again.
