One final note on "Semi-Pro." The movie is pretty much getting universally panned, but I don't think that's going to stop the Will Ferrell sports movie train. The Hollywood Reporter says it's unlikely that the movie "will see first-weekend grosses anywhere near those for Farrell's 'Talladega Nights,'" which pulled in $47 million on the way to a $148.2 million domestic take. I say, this opens at $32 million and grosses $121 million, besting "Blades of Glory," which did $118.6 million.
