In the interest of serious big screen metrics, we've previously assayed the impact of Brittany Snow's scantily clad cavorting about on the opening weekend grosses of John Tucker Must Die, and also analyzed the net worth of Jessica Alba's penguin panties. It seems an entirely reasonable question to ask, then, the financial net effect of the "restricted" Internet trailer for Beowulf, and various topless and come-hither shots of Angelina Jolie, like the one below, on the $27.5 million weekend debut of the PG-13 rated motion-capture flick?



I'd have to say somewhere in the $2.5-4 million range. After all, there are still enough randy 15-year-olds and obsessive Tomb Raider fans (well, of the videogame) out there getting tired of the same old Photoshopped pictures, right?

      I'd place the value lower, actually. Unless it's a big-time sex thriller or something, those same kids you're talking about are much more willing to just let their fingers and search engines do the trick, rather than shell out actual money. JMO.
