'WHITE CHICKS" LIKELY TO LICK 'FAHRENHEIT"

Will the flood of attention given to "Fahrenheit 9/11," which Lions Gate and IFC Films will bow in 868 venues, translate into boffo B.O.? While Michael Moore's pic has dominated headlines this week, it's not the top dog going into the weekend box office race. Continuing the summer's trend of midweek bows, Sony/Revolution's "White Chicks" opened on Wednesday, taking in $4.2 million from 2,412 locations. Opening day results put pic, which stars Marlon and Shawn Wayans as undercover white girls, on a pace to dethrone Fox's "DodgeBall" at the top of the box office chart this weekend.

Go see White Chicks this weekend (or at least buy tickets for it), and make sure Fahrenheit 9/11 rots.

[Phantom Lord]

How about I go see neither.

[aimhigh]

Or,... stay home and don't feed Hollywood.

[conservativefromGa]

uhh..yeah I'll pass on that

[Sprite518]

Sorry but I will pass on all this Weekend.

[Pyro7480]

Isn't Spiderman 2 out this week too? I'd rather see that.

[TXBSAFH]

I would prefer to watch myself being lit on fire and put out with a pickaxe. Then watch anyone of these wastes of film.

[Jalapeno]

here here

[The Old Hoosier]

Buy tix for something else, then go see Moore.

[discostu]

Wait until Wednesday and Spiderman 2.

[Blood of Tyrants]

NOW you're talkin'! Think that we'll get another glimpse of Kirsten Dunst, ah, in the rain?

[Constitution Day]

Ditto that. I'd rather watch my grass grow.

[Pyro7480]

Oh, it's next Wednesday. My bad.

[counterpunch]

What about Barbershop 2 instead?

[Spiff]

If it was two white comedians dressing in black face with boobs and big butts and playing stereotyped black women named Moishalashawn and Shaquaninae we'd have riots in the cities right now. Have two unfunny, extraordinarily crude black "comedians" put out this racist piece of crap and it will get great box office.

Racism is racism. The racist Wayans brothers can kiss my non-racist white butt.

[brownsfan]

I might consider seeing "White Chicks", but it would require two things:

A movie called "Black Chicks" to be made.

and

A blizzard in a place normally thought of as being VERY, VERY hot.

[lormand]

"Or,... stay home and don't feed Hollywood"

That's the ticket!

[NateLannister]

You know, that's an excellent point... I really hadn't thought of that. I just enjoyed the forecast of an obviously horribly unfunny piece-of-crap movie blasting Moore's propaganda out of the theaters.

[The Game Hen]

Go see The Notebook.
Have a good cry and support the South Carolina film industry.

"A film so dreary and conventional that it took an act of the will to keep me in the theater"- from Ebert review of White Chicks.
