Zookeeper had a summer release date. I'd think that gave it a better advantage than Jack and Jill.
And for the umpteenth time, with Jack and Jill looking less family friendly than Puss In Boots, which is still going strong, Puss is in a good position to threepeat at the number 1 spot and Jack could easily disappoint. And then in the coming weeks, there are a bunch of other family films hitting the marketplace.
Not to mention, who is the marketing for Jack and Jill really targeting anyway? The movie itself may be targeting all four quadrants, but the ads make it look like they can't decide who to attract. That same approach backfired with Zookeeper for it's opening weekend and it could easily happen for Jack and Jill also.
Stating that MTC isn't taking into account that it's a family film like you're absolutely certain seems rather pretentious on your part.

Would be more interesting if we knew what RS was. Nov 07, 12:11
Nice... Looks like Sensei was on to something... {nm} Nov 07, 12:23
Really don't see Immortals doing that well. Just lokes like the Conan the Barbarian remake! {nm} Nov 07, 12:31
Of what genre does he speak? What about Centurion or The Eagle or Clash of the Titans or Prince of Persia or Conan? {nm} Nov 07, 12:42
I have to admit to not reading his site, so I'm looking to be enlightened on the arguement. {nm} Nov 07, 12:42
Tarsem can certainly make a script look cool. Its appears to be way more visually stunning than Conan {nm} Nov 07, 12:34
I wouldn't be shocked. I'm having a tough time getting a read on that one. However, regarding MTC this week, I'm a bit Nov 07, 12:36
Are you only really skeptical on Jack and Jill just because it's Sandler? Is that your only reason? {nm} Nov 07, 12:45
But him doing a family comedy has questionable drawing power. Bedtime Stories' BO performance felt pretty underwhelming. Nov 07, 13:11
Perhaps. You could well be right. {nm} Nov 07, 13:31
It also opened the weekend before Christmas which is never a good week for anything. Nov 07, 14:08
Bedtime Stories opened on Christmas Day actually. And that should have been a good thing. {nm} Nov 07, 14:13
That's exactly what I've been saying. The ads looks like they can't decide who to cater to. {nm} Nov 07, 14:40
Tagging for posterity: [HOOVR] [JAJIL] [IMRTL] {nm} Nov 07, 12:37
MTC isn't taking into account that JAJIL is a family film and kids will eat up the crappy crossdressing humor Nov 07, 14:07
Parents are more likely to take their kids to Puss in Boots. Zookeeper tracked similarly. {nm} Nov 07, 14:16
I can literally do a 1:1 comparison between the two movie if it helps (but don't have time to do it right now) Nov 07, 14:22
Zookeeper had a summer release date. I'd think that gave it a better advantage than Jack and Jill. Nov 07, 14:32
Even so, you're comparing apples (Sandler) to oranges (Kevin James) {nm} Nov 07, 15:03
Sandler has much more drawing power than James. Nov 07, 18:06
Zookeeper had a summer release date, and there was word of positive test scores that prompted the summer move. Nov 08, 05:24
