Sometimes it pays to be right. I didn't want to see Julia Roberts in another film - and it turns out not much of the public did either. Her new film, Duplicity, with Clive Owen opened to disappointing numbers at the box-office, leading industry insiders to wonder if the lady has lost her golden touch. The movie opened third in a fairly non-competitive weekend to the tune of $14.4 million. I know that sounds like a lot of money, but Hollywood plays with different numbers! Paul Rudd and Jason Segal's bromantic comedy, I Love You Man, came in second and Nicholas Cage took a surprise sweep with the thriller, Knowing. When Nick Cage can pull in $10 million more over Julia in the span of two days - while sporting a bad toupee and no boobs - it's probably time to pack it in. You can bet that Katherine Heigl, Julia Roberts rumored heir to the romantic comedy throne, is salivating in the wings. Bring On The Heigl!
