“Considering that this was an unknown quantity, we’re obviously really pleased with the results and look forward to the sequel,” president of domestic distribution Dan Fellman said. “The exits were excellent, which leads us to conclude that the film will continue to do well.”
Having dug the flick myself, I’m glad to hear it. What I’m more glad of, though, outside of Rachel Weisz constantly wet in a white shirt throughout the film, is a major studio taking a chance on an unproven property and then having the balls to release it with an R-rating. I tip my hat to you this time WB. The next round is on me.
