Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis headline the comedy We’re the Millers, opening Wednesday. The pic basically looks like a Vacation knockoff but who knows? It could have some funny moments and the trailers aren’t terrible. How’s that for faint praise?
The two stars have had luck collaborating before. In the summer of 2011, Aniston and Sudeikis were featured in Horrible Bosses, which grossed $28 million in its opening weekend and went to gross $117 million domestically. Those numbers would be heavenly for Warner Bros., especially considering the pic’s meager $30 million budget.
We’re the Millers probably won’t do Horrible Bosses numbers in its eventual gross, unless audiences really dig it and it develops solid legs in subsequent weekends. Still, with no other comedies really out there (The Heat and Grown Ups 2 have earned their cash by now), Millers could post solid numbers. I’d say a five-day gross in the mid to upper 20s is the most likely scenario.
We’re the Millers opening weekend prediction: $19.4 million (Friday-to-Sunday), $27.2 million (five-day opening)
