I'm not really surprised that The Hunger Games only got 1 screen at Broadway. Nightfall is their film and after the scheduling for A Simple Life last week, I thought that something would happen. What those schedules don't tell you is that The Hunger Games is getting the 2nd biggest screen at most places. Some Broadway theaters have put this on the smallest screen behind Nightfall and A Simple Life. I still have high confidence, however, that it will take the biggest opening weekend of 2012 away from Journey 2.

Nightfall didn't even blink. It still has a nice set of showtimes on Thursday but I expect UA and other theater chains to slash its showtimes to make room for The Hunger Games and other new releases this week. A Simple Life did OK. It lost the 9 PM showtime at most places but still kept the 7 PM. Morning showtimes are still doing good business so theaters have kept it on the 2nd biggest screen in the morning. John Carter and The Iron Lady will have to make room for the new releases. They should see more than 50% of their showtimes from last week disappear.

It is pretty much a tossup between the other new releases in terms of showtimes. We'll have to see how the other theater chains book the new releases this week.

Nightfall only gets half day showtimes. Love Strikes gets another week before it quietly exits theaters.

What kind of OW number do you expect now? 400K?

What kind of OW number do you expect now? 400K?

About 650k for now. I think Hunger Games will do well with walk-ins and come in with an OD over $100,000.

I would expect it to be fairly frontloaded. It seems to be frontloaded in the US.

Nah, it will increase on Saturday and Sunday. People usually watch movies on the weekend because they have to work Thursday and Friday. I could see The Hunger Games having a 60-70% increase on Saturday (maybe even more if it truly is a family event), even with Love in a Buff getting advanced screenings on Saturday.

How could THG be doing so poor ?Not a good sign for it in Asia.

How could THG be doing so poor ?

Not a good sign for it in Asia.

It really should have done better here but Nightfall/A Simple Life remain as formidable competition. I'm sure Philippines/Singapore and other Asian territories will do big business.

The Hunger Games will do solid business this weekend. Most theaters are leaving it with full-day showtimes even though Love in a Buff is getting full day special screenings. Nightfall/A Simple Life are the films getting cut instead. Some have even gave Hunger Games 2 screens this weekend so it might even increase 85-90% on Saturday.

Superb hold for A Simple Life. John Carter should have held better. Not a great drop. The Iron Lady sunk this weekend. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy started off well. Love Strikes bombed. Big drops for Hugo, Love and The Artist. A Separation continues to captivate and awe audiences. Good hold. $150,000 would be a fantastic gross from just 5 theaters.

The Hunger Games had the 5 and 7:30 PM showtimes on sale the past week but it's good news that it is still out in front. A Simple Life is doing great pre-selling. Nightfall is doing good as well. From this table, Nightfall is having really good night shows while A Simple Life is crushing everything in the daytime. The Hunger Games is playing strongly throughout the day so it looks like families and couples are providing the majority of business.

Weak admissions for The Hunger Games. Nightfall and A Simple Life had pretty good holds. John Carter fell hard. Dreadful for Jack and Jill.

The Hunger Games did OK in gross. It is aiming for a $700,000 beginning. Nightfall had a solid hold although its drop will get bigger this weekend. A Simple Life did well; it should also expect a bigger fall this weekend as Love in the Buff gets special screenings. Terrible for John Carter. 2m will probably still happen unless if the Love in the Puff sneaks manage to kill its Saturday/Sunday gross. Bad all around for Jack & Jill, Love Lifting and The Second Woman. The Iron Lady had another iffy hold. No one cares for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Awful for Carnage.

Love in the Buff is getting mostly full day sneak previews at almost every location. Pre-sales have been very good. It is going to rank #4 this weekend.

Nice work for Nightfall. I was expecting it to be closer to A Simple Life. Instead, it widened the gap. A Simple Life seems to be running on fumes now. Still poor for Jack and Jill. That small increase isn't comforting for John Carter. It'll be lucky to break $100,000 for the weekend now.

probably should have added Love in the Buff in the table. Anyways, no one seems to be running away with this. Very tight between the top 3 in admissions. It looks like The Hunger Games is playing well with families and couples as the 4 main showtimes all seem to be close to each other. Its admissions number for the midnight showing is fantastic as well. A Simple Life is doing good in daytime showtimes although night shows still seem to be a soft spot. Morning shows haven't been as robust as the last 2 weeks for it. Nightfall seems steady all around.

I still think it will pass 26k today. A Simple Life has been slowly dying in pre-sales this weekend. I wonder if it will pick up with walk-ins today. Bigger falls expected today and Sunday. Nightfall seems steady but it will have harsher drops today and tomorrow. Love in the Buff could possibly hit top 3 today. I wouldn't count it out to slip past Nightfall for #2 today. Big dive by The Iron Lady.

Its start wasn't anything spectacular but it could have done a lot worse. WOM is mixed here. I don't see it having spectacular holds the next few weeks. Nightfall and A Simple Life are still pulling their weight although both seem to be losing steam. Nightfall is headed for about 2.2m while A Simple Life should close with about 3.3m. Love in the Buff had strong pre-sales which bodes really well for next weekend. Terrible for Jack and Jill.

April schedule updated.Next week: Love in the Buff officially vs. Wrath of the Titans. Wrath of the Titans is looking mighty unimpressive so far. Love in the Buff could overpower it and take the weekend.

The majority of its admissions were from walk-ins. Nightfall had a pretty good drop but pre-sales have been getting weaker and weaker which suggest most of the target audience has watched it. Walk-ins remain steady. A Simple Life had a fairly huge drop considering the recent awards but pre-sales remain very active. Walk-ins have been sluggish though. Very strong opening from Love in the Buff. Weak for John Carter. 2m might be out of its reach.

Love in the Buff is commanding a lot of showtimes. Let's see if it'll be enough to defeat Wrath of the Titans in 3D. The Grey is getting mostly full-day showtimes at several locations. This should be going semi-wide to wide. Holdover Nightfall got saved the most but I don't see it having a great drop. The Hunger Games doesn't look like it will have a very great hold this week especially when it's not getting 2 screens this weekend. A Simple Life could fall over 60% this weekend depending on how UA schedules the films this week. Jack and Jill, John Carter, The Second Woman, Love Lifting and The Iron Lady are all sacrificial lambs.

Love in the Buff will get a bit of screen time there but for the most part, Hunger and A Simple Life are the two movies that UA theaters will show the most. Wrath of the Titans is also getting booked into UA theaters but not to the extent of Love in the Buff. Nightfall is the big loser here, losing half of its UA locations this weekend. Other big losers at this theater chain are Jack and Jill, The Second Woman, Carnage and John Carter.
