The previous record for a Tuesday was set last month, when “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” earned $15.7 million, according to Viacom Inc.-owned Paramount.”
Sure, people will say they only watch enlightening documentaries or movies about an improbable love between two quadriplegic lesbians or whatever boring crap people see to seem smart, but when it comes down to it, they want to see stuff like this. Hot girls and explosions. No matter what the emo chick at Blockbuster you’re too scared ask out tells you.
