Looks like Chris Rock really wants his 3MM followers to go see Kevin Hart's new movie instead of 'American Sniper'

We’re really not sure what to make of this tweet from actor and comedian Chris Rock where he compares Kevin Hart’s new comedy, “The Wedding Ringer,” to the Oscar-nominated “American Sniper”:

The wedding ringer is way funnier than American sniper . Kev hart funnier than ever. http://t.co/hRm2P6oPFy

Um, duh?

But maybe Rock’s tweet has something to do with this…

@chrisrock American Sniper isn't a comedy. I'll bet American Sniper makes more money in 1 weekend than Wedding Ringer does total.

We’d take that bet.

“American Sniper” is breaking records and set for a $90 million opening weekend while “The Wedding Ringer” is a distant second at an estimated $21 million.

But regardless of what Chris Rock was trying to do, it was a stupid comment to make. And worse for the professional funny-man, not very funny:
