I disliked Affleck for years, considering him a pretty-boy who lucked into his success. Guess I was just jealous. Then one night, I saw him host an episode of Saturday Night Live and my opinion of him completely changed. He came across completely differently and I've been a fan ever since.
Back to the movie, I just checked the grosses for the weekend and it looks like Affleck beat out both Anakin and Peter Parker earning $31.2 million. Not too shabby.
