As we hit the home stretch for summer movies, we find ourselves in a strange weekend of releases, with Death Race, The Longshots and Hamlet 2. Also, The Rocker is hitting theaters later than originally planned, which puts House Bunny's very talented Emma Stone in the position of having two movies open in the same week.
She's been everywhere doing press, which will help both films, but the driving force of The Rocker is, of course, Rainn Wilson—who rocks in it! Fans of The Office will flock to support Dwight in his tighty-whities, and while he is being compared to Will Ferrell in this movie, don't expect a Ferrell-sized opening. (Well, maybe a Semi-Pro-sized opening.)
Rainn, Emma and the gang will put up a solid $15 million. Think I'm off my Rocker? Drop your numbers in the comments and let's see if you can Beat Ben.
