Jaden Smith is getting a small taste of what it's like to walk in dad Will's action-blockbuster shoes.

As expected, the remake of the 1951 sci-fi flick starring Keanu Reeves easily replaced Four Christmases atop the box office leader board with an opening weekend gross of $31 million, according to Sunday's estimates.

That's a pretty weak opening, really. For it to have debuted "strong" the gross should have been somewhere north of $40 million or so. I think the $31 is "ok," but certainly not worth bragging about for the studio.
I bet this movie will struggle to top $100 mill domestically.

Keanu Reeves may be the biggest attraction on movie - The Day the Earth Stood Still. You'll be doing yourself a favour if you watch this movie with lower expectations. I'll only give it credit for being at least somewhat entertaining, with a handful of effective moments of adventure and suspense.

Money's tight, Keanu better give more than his usual stoic android-like responses to get bucks outta peoples hands these days.

Hey I just watched it on Net Flicks, liked it! Of course I regularly watch the Matrix over and over, the original one!

I saw this one; I think I saw this one. It was pretty unforgetable to me.
