Gerard Butler Jessica Biel ‘Playing For Keeps’ Bombs At Boxoffice Weekend Haul Paltry $6MIL

Despite a B+ CinemaScore, “Playing for Keeps,” starring Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel, Uma Thurman, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Dennis Quaid, reported in at a disappointing No. 6 domestically.

Could one of the reasons be this movie is performing so poorly that Butler is trying to pull-off playing a college student? He does right?
