They changed the posters to only his name top billed and any advertising I saw used only his name as well. I'm just curious to see how next week holds up.

But by limiting the number of projects he commits to, he's steadily built a solid track record. Even his one major dud (Fred Claus) churned out a decent $70+ million. Even more impressive is that unlike Ben Stiller, Vince has an easier time opening without a franchise or co-headliner. Its easy to forget Vince’s star power since he only does one movie per year.

It will be interesting to see the holdover the film has next week. I think it also benefited by being the only new wide release this week.
