our movie guy, erik childress, is here, and erik, we are all ears. let's take a look at the three films that are slated to open up: "g.i. joe: retaliation" opens today, "the host," tyler perry's "temptation: confessions of a marriage counselor." who wins? > > pretty hands-down it is going to be "g.i. joe." > which gets an early start. > > absolutely. the thursday start, it is going to have showsm even wednesday night, late shows then. > wow. > > this movie was delayed from last year. it was supposed to open last june in the summertime. about a few weeks before release it was pulled. some people said that they wanted to put more channing tatum in the movie, some people said it was based on a 3d conversion. some people just thought it kind of stunk based on early screenings. it's a little bit of all three. but it will still do very well. > what do you think about "the host?" > > "the host" is the new film based on the book by stephenie meyer, who wrote the "twilight" series. there is not as much enthusiasm for this story as there was for the "twilight"

erik childress thanks. > > thank you. thanks guys. just ahead, a trade that hopefully won't leave you blushing. chart talk is next. matt cavanaugh of cmz trading joins us now for a look at a cosmetics stock. and actually, you see a decent trade on this one. let's take a look at ulta. what do you see in the charts? let's start there. > > well, this is a stock that has had a lot of difficulty recently as the market has been rising. it's a stock we've talked about before, and it has really been kind of range- bound. so what i see in the charts here is i see support for ulta right around $84, $83, $85, somewhere in that range. the stock is roughly $87, $88 right now before earnings, so i think that just taking a brief look at it it looks like there is a good chance to maybe dip your toe into the long side here. > is this a quick trade? earnings are coming out tonight after the close. > > you know, it would be one that i would make, but i would make sure to have defined risk/reward ratios on it. and what i mean by that is the stock looks l

erik childress from the chicago film critics' association, our man for movies and money. i would think this this would have slain some careers, too. > > it might. warner brothers is having a pretty awful year so far. they had a big disappointment with "gangster squad," and then two more with "bullet to the head" and "beautiful creatures." > this was the big money loss. > > this was the big money loss. this was a $190-, $195-, maybe $200-million-budgeted film, so it is a film that has to gross about a half a billion dollars just to break even, and that includes worldwide sales and whatnot. > now it does have some potential for redemption in the coming months. they have a half-dozen or so new movies coming out. > > yeah. next week we have "the incredible burt wonderstone," which is steve carell and jim carey. carell has a pretty decent track record at the box office. i think this might be their best film of the year, wonder brothers, money- wise. but then you look forward to april, and i think they might have a surprise hit with "42," which is the jackie robinson story. bas
