Don't see why all the hate on this guy, he took a shot at something big and the jury will decide if it's a hit or not. Even if it doesn't beat out The Expendables, they still stand to profit on the movie, which means it will be a success in the long run.

It cost $20 million to make, and it's not like there's a huge market for Middle Men merchandise, so if it doesn't make that back or more, it wouldn't be profiting.
If you don't understand perhaps how bad it's doing, there's another limited release movie out now called Flipped. I've never heard of it, doubt anyone here has ever heard of it, and it's only playing in 44 theaters and last weekend was its 2nd weekend as well. It with 44 theaters made $119,310 (which is not very impressive) while Middle Men with 252 theaters made $96,198. 33 movies grossed higher than Middle Men last weekend, 11 of them in less theaters than Middle Men was playing in, and only 2 of them were in their 1st or 2nd weekend.
It's not a COLOSSAL failure, but given who was in it and it being a somewhat interesting-looking movie, it's doing much worse than was expected.
