Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz starrer off to good start

By ANDREW STEWART

wentieth Century Fox’s action caper “Knight and Day” scored an estimated $3.8 million Wednesday at 3,043 locations, repping a solid jump start for the Tom Cruise-Cameron Diaz starrer.

Fox said it hopes word of mouth, coupled with last weekend’s sneaks, will translate through the weekend among older auds. Wednesday’s figures rep a considerable start for “Knight” given that the film’s targeted adult demo typically shy away from mid-week screenings.

Still, comparable adult summer titles released on Wednesday, including last year’s R-rated Universal pic “Public Enemies,” earned $8.2 million opening day. Paramount-DreamWorks’ “Tropic Thunder,” in which Cruise appeared in a cameo role, debuted with $6.5 million in August 2008. Opening three-day totals for “Public Enemies” reached a muted $25.3 million, while “Tropic Thunder” grossed $25.8 million during its inaugural frame.

Overseas prospects for “Knight” look promising as Cruise usually draws top coin in some major markets. Pic launched day and date with the U.S. in 12 markets, including Russia and South Korea.

“Knight” will expand to some 50 more Stateside engagements Friday when it will compete for adult auds with Sony’s wide release “Grown Ups,” which launches at 3,533.

Another clip of Mary Hart’s interview with Tom and Cameron. It’s a few seconds longer than the previous uploaded video clip. Hope to get the interview itself soon so that we can show that to you!

Tonight, only ET’s Mary Hart is with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz on the top-secret Boston set of their new action-comedy, ‘Knight & Day’ — and we have a sneak peek at their sit-down!

After letting loose in last year’s ‘Tropic Thunder,’ Tom shows off more of his comedic chops in ‘Knight & Day,’ and Cameron reports, “He’s so funny!”

As for the overall feel of the film, she clarifies, “It’s not like a wacky comedy; the situations are kind of absurd.”

“It’s a fun character comedy; adventure, romance — I don’t want to give away too much,” adds Tom. “Girl meets boy, boy sees girl, girl sees boy, adventure ensues.”

Watch ET tonight for much of Mary’s interview with Tom and Cameron!

The highly anticipated ‘Knight & Day’ hits theaters next July, 2010.
