August 6, 2010 - 8:32 am
LOS ANGELES -- It looks like Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are set to take over the top spot at the nation's theaters as Sony's "The Other Guys" prepares to assault the weekend. A terrific marketing campaign, a great action-comedy premise, and solid reviews give this film the makings of an early August hit. Ferrell's average wide release debut is $24.2 million and Wahlberg's is $20.2 million. Therefore an opening in the $25 million plus range would position it as the film to beat this weekend.
