EXIT LAUGHING
Hollywood is exiting the traditionally slow spring season laughing. In addition to
last weekend's box-office winner, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Universal will
be ushering in Baby Mama, starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, while New Line
offers up another comedy, Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantánamo Bay.
Analysts suggest the likely box-office winner may be a toss-up between the two new
films. (They're giving Mama a slight edge.) None of the three comedies is
expected to crack the $20-million mark. Also opening is 20th Century Fox's dismally
reviewed Deception, which few believe will earn more than $5 million. Analysts
suggest that this weekend the studios are really just in a holding pattern until
the summer season kicks off next week with the opening of Iron Man, which is
expected to earn about as much as all of this week's major releases put together
-- and then some.
