Box office critics predicted a big weekend for New Line Cinemas’ movie “Semi Pro” starring Will Ferrell and Andre “3000” Benjamin. But the basketball comedy took in only $5.7 million on Friday night, leaving critics scratching their heads.
The stunning failure at the box office is calling into question the career of Ferrell who had back-to-back hits with “Talladega Nights” and “Blades of Glory.”
Dre 3000, in the meantime, has never had a hit movie. Maybe it’s time for him to go back into the studio full time and leaving the acting to real actors.
