"Pain & Gain" led the weekend box office tally with $20 million. That's not a bad figure for a picture that reputedly cost only $26 million to make. But stars Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson and director Michael Bay deferred their salaries in return for a big chunk of the back end. So it remains to see if the action/comedy can show enough legs to be truly profitable.
