Brett Ratner took a lot of heat from Hollywood when he agreed to direct a third installment of the ‘Rush Hour’ series. The movie is likely to bring in $60 million this weekend which would be more than the opening weekend of the first two combined.

For a series that started nine years ago and had its sequel six years ago, “Rush Hour” remains a startlingly popular franchise. The first one opened with $33 million and became a phenomenon. The second one had a $67 million opening weekend, and went on to become the biggest comedy ever. (”Meet the Fockers” later usurped that title.)

If “RH3″ finishes with $60 million on Sunday night, the potential is there for it to equal the second installment’s totals. Not bad. As for Ratner, don’t go hatin’ on him. He makes hard stuff look easy and he’s made a bundle along the way.
