I guess that's the power of hype and 3D ticket surcharges. The trailers for this creep me out. I figured Alice in Wonderland would do well, but not $114 million.

Sooner or later the slacker/stoner/counterculture audience will eventually abandon him, and all he will be left with is a pile of dirty jokes laced with filthy language. And in the meantime, Cop Out will probably be at best a middling success before finding a home in those slacker/stoner's DVD collections...
