'Pineapple Express' Burnin' Up The Box-Office Already

Maybe the studios will really want a “Pineapple Express” sequel and unlike “Superbad” which they also wanted. Maybe Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will decide to write another one.

We honestly hope not, but regardless, David Gordon Green’s directorial effort for the Judd Apatow crew is burning up the box-office already and it’s not even Friday yet. It set the record for the best August Wednesday opening ever taking in 12.1 million from 3,072 theaters (honestly we didn’t even know it was opening up two days early; this seems like a trend, see “Tropic Thunder” which is following that Wednesday model).

Meanwhile, CHUD, who we actually like, went out on an unfortunate limb, gave the movie a 9.2 rating and said James Franco should get an Oscar nomination. Umm, yeah, bloggers. It’s fine, but god, it’s not that good trust us.
