Take Two: Channing Tatum movie trivia

Here's some more background on each of the questions:

Between 21 Jump Street and 22 Jump Street, which has the higher Rotten Tomatoes score? 

Both movies, based on the 80s TV series 21 Jump Street, are "Certified Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes, but 21 Jump Street just beats out its sequel by a single percentage point, coming in at 85% versus 22 Jump Street's 84%.

True or false: Channing Tatum was nominated for an Oscar for his performance in Foxcatcher

It is false, as Tatum is still looking for his first ever Oscar nomination. However, there was a legitimate shot with Foxcatcher, as Tatum gave one of the most acclaimed performances of his career in the movie playing real-life wrestler Mark Schultz. Tatum was included in a Best Ensemble win from the Gotham Awards and Hollywood Film Awards, alongside his co-stars Steve Carrell and Mark Ruffalo.

Tatum's Dear John ended Avatar's box office No. 1 streak after seven weeks in 2010; how much did it beat Avatar by in its opening weekend, over or under $5 million? 

Over. Dear John finally slayed the box office behemoth that was James Cameron's Avatar, besting it at the US box office on the weekend of February 5, 2010, by just under $8 million (Dear John made $30.5 million, Avatar pulled in $22.9, per Box Office Mojo). Dear John, which also starred Amanda Seyfried and is an adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel, went on to earn more than $100 million at the global box office.

How many movies has Channing Tatum made with Steven Soderbergh, 5 or 6? 

Tatum and Soderbergh are frequent collaborators, having made five movies together. The movies are Haywire, Side Effects, Magic Mike, Logan Lucky and Magic Mike's Last Dance.

True or false: Channing Tatum has played Superman? 

This one is true, but there's no shame if you can't picture it, because Tatum has never appeared wearing the cape and blue spandex on screen. Instead, he voiced Superman in the animated movie The Lego Movie.
