No, no, "makes out with" would have been the proper pun headline. It makes a play on the name of the movie and actually makes sense -- the pun works. "Never Been Kissed french kisses another $5 million" doesn't work because the sentence doesn't make sense, the "french kisses" part only plays off the name of the movie. It doesn't work.

Leaving the pun aside, the proper headline should have been "Never Been Kissed makes another $5 million at the box office".
