On the other end there’s Wedding Crashers (New Line, 7.15), a comedy that’s tracking decently but not tremendously (i.e., it’s more or less where Monster-in-Law was a week before its release) and could probably use the exposure of a nationwide sneak….but it’s not getting one. This despite the fact it’s opening only eight days from now and has been getting great word of mouth. I guess New Line is figuring they’re going to get whipped next weekend by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Warner Bros., 7.15) anyway, so why go nuts trying to be the #1 film when the word-of-mouth is going to be good enough to keep Wedding Crashers playing well into August.
