The film got off to good start with a respectable $1.7 million earned from late-night preview screenings last night and could become the fourth major release produced in North Carolina to hit number one at the box office this year, following Safe Haven, Iron Man 3, and The Conjuring, if it can off the sci-fi epic Elysium and the fantasy Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters this weekend.

From Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema, We’re The Millers starsJennifer Aniston (Horrible Bosses) and Jason Sudeikis (The Campaign), directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story).  

David Burke (Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids—after all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms).   

      In order to wipe the slate clean—and maintain a clean bill of health—David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad’s latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose (Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), and the tatted-and-pierced streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), he devises a foolproof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the “Millers” are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang. 

  Thurber directs We’re The Millers from a screenplay by Steve Faber & Bob Fisher (Wedding Crashers) and Sean Anders & John Morris (Hot Tub Time Machine). The film also stars Emma Roberts (Scream 4), Nick Offerman (21 Jump Street), Kathryn Hahn (The Dictator), Will Poulter (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader) and Ed Helms (the Hangover films).   

      Vincent Newman, Tucker Tooley, Happy Walters and Chris Bender are the producers, with David Heyman, J.C. Spink and Marcus Viscidi serving as executive producers.   

      Thurber’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Barry Peterson (“21 Jump Street”); production designer Clayton Hartley (“The Other Guys”); editor Mike Sale (“The Hangover Part II”); and costume designer Shay Cunliffe (“The Bourne Legacy”).   

Shot on location in North Carolina and New Mexico, New Line Cinema’s “We’re The Millers” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
