It couldn't beat "Ted," but "Magic Mike" was somewhat of a surprise hit earlier this month when it opened at No. 2 at the box office with $39.1 million. So it shouldn't come as a huge shock that Channing Tatum and co. are already working on a sequel.

magic mike

"Yes, yes and yes!" Tatum, 32, told Glamour U.K. when asked if there would be a "Magic Mike 2." He continued, "We're working on the concept now. We want to flip the script and make it bigger."

Despite its cheesiness, the Steven Soderbergh flick inspired by Tatum's own experience as a male stripper was a hit with critics. "Purest corn, 'Magic Mike' nonetheless has a human pulse and a sense of humor to go along with its willingness to entertain," The Chicago Tribune's Michael Phillips wrote.

More news for beefcake, er, Channing Tatum fans: He says he'd be willing to play Christian in the "Fifty Shades Of Grey" movie -- if his sexy wife Jenna Dewan could play Ana. "I'd only be allowed if my wife was Ana. She’s read the books so I don’t think she’d be impressed if she couldn’t be Ana!" he told Glamour.

    but I have heard lots of good things about this "magic mike" movie... one gay friend said it is the new millennium's "Golden Girls"... I have another female friend who makes her feel more comfortable voting for Odumba.... and now she thinks she is gay.... I would have to give 3 thumbs up the ass on this one.

    Channing Tatum isn't even HOT. He's got the biggest ears I've ever seen. If you're going to make a film about a male stripper, then at least cast an attractive actor.

    I don't care how attractive they are, I could never respect a person who stripped. (With the exception of a desperate mother in need of feeding her children who, sees no other solution). I can't respect people who treat their bodies as objects of lust for the other. I can't respect them because they reveal themselves to another person in order for the other to get their selfish fulfillment out of it. They don't seem to respect themselves, so how can many others? Many women and men working in the sex industry have often experiences a history of sexual abuse.

    I find it unfathomably sick that the entertainment of the public is based off of someone else's sad and disturbing history. Many strippers feel worthless and as if all they can ever be is a sex object, because that is how they were treated early on. It is the same scenario with porn stars. It is just sexual acting. Many of the acts performed are painful and the participants (usually the women in this case) often times only pretend to enjoy it and more so endure it/tolerate it.

    I also realize that this is just a film but it is based on Channing Tatum's actual experience as a stripper. This film glamorizes something that is perceived to be fun and sexy, but in reality is often times the result of a broken spirit.

    All that glitters is not gold.

    i chose yes because honestly there should have been an "It doesn't matter" option or "Other". Because quite frankly the world has female stripper movies, movies with porn and various other things. Male stripper movies shouldn't really be too much a problem unless you're a guy with a girl that likes the movie. Then maybe you have an issue. But still, it shouldn't matter. Yes? No? Who cares? These actors are making their money and people that want to see it are enjoying it. Worried some kid is at some point going to stumble on the movie? Oh well. I learned about a lot of all this stuff and more by the time i was in the second grade. I guess people care about those kids being exposed to it, but shielding them from the fact that it exists is keeping them from understanding another's life when they actually get older and realize it's right there. In the real world there are male strippers, and shielding people from the fact that its true is putting them at risk for butting into other people's lives and saying and doing the wrong things; like so many other people already do with other situations.
    Sorry for making this into such a big deal, but... yeah.

    One mindless "film" was plenty.

    Don't get me wrong, men are beautiful. Love them. Adore them. Admire them. I just don't get the draw. Mindless drivel. Oh. That's the draw? No thanks.

    But at the same time there are so many movies with girls doing the same thing. I'm not into strip tease movies in general, but the women who are should be able to have their eye candy as well.

    Why not? A movie about a male prostitute sounds more interesting, personally (as long as it's not a sob story).

    Us girls need some good eye candy. Why can't women watch half naked guys as a form of entertainment?? Oh, wait, we can
