'Scary Movie 4': Weinsteins Gorge on Reheated Easter Leftovers
Could I have possibly returned to the daily grind with a more heartwarming story than the latest triumph of les frères Weinstein? While Miramax nickle-and-dimes its way through Harvey and Bob's attic to help supplement Kinky Boots' debut, the new-ish Weinstein Company and its lowbrow label Dimension Films witnessed their Scary Movie 4 have the single biggest Easter opening since Jesus's tomb.
The parody's $41 million take is also the second-largest April launch ever, trailing only the memorably dynamic Jack Nicholson/Adam Sandler ass-stiffener Anger Management. So far, the Weinsteins have not commented on their studio's first-ever number-one opening, but Reeler HQ hears that Dimension boss Bob Weinstein is already making "I'll-buy-you-fly" jokes with his brother about the next year's lunch arrangements. Congratulations, fellas!
