...three days. And the mayhem-festooned action film Ninja Assassin was the decade's lowest-grossing opening for the Wackowski brothers, once renowned for The Matrix. Its $13.1 million three-day gross was considerably below not only V for Vendetta but the widely reviled (and, take one stubborn critic's word for it, visually enthralling) Speed Racer. The only upside for Old Dogs and Ninja Assassin is that they didn't cost much to make: $35 to $40 million each...
