Synopsis
86 year-old Irving Zisman is on a journey across America with the most unlikely companions, his 8 year-old Grandson Billy in "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa?. This October, the signature Jackass character Irving Zisman and Billy will take movie audiences along for the most insane hidden camera road trip ever captured on camera.
Along the way Irving will introduce the young and impressionable Billy to people, places and situations that give new meaning to the term childrearing. The duo will encounter male strippers, disgruntled child beauty pageant contestants (and their equally disgruntled mothers), funeral home mourners, biker bar patrons and a whole lot of unsuspecting citizens.
Real people in unreal situations, making for one really messed up comedy.

Movie Details
So far October has been a bad month at the box office. Granted,
Gravity
should crack $200 million over the weekend; however, week after week after week we've seen declines in the year-over-year comparison. Will that losing streak finally end this weekend? We do have some good news.
Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa
should earn $30 million, more or less, easily topping the chart this weekend and earning much more than
last year
's number one film
Argo
. In fact, it might earn more than all four new releases from last year. Additionally,
The Counselor
isn't expected to be the biggest hit, but it still could earn more than
Argo
did this time last year and should earn more than the best new releases,
Cloud Atlas
, did. Are we finally going to see 2013's slump end? I really hope so, because 2013 is not that far ahead of 2012's pace and if the slump doesn't end soon, it could find itself slipping behind last year's pace.
