This time last weekend the panic was palpable. Now, it's a celebration. I suppose CF's weekend numbers were just altered by the shift in release date.

It needs to fall less than 50.3%, so if my math is right $79,511,365

1. Will The Hunger Games: Catching Fire drop more than 67%? No2. Will Homefront make more than $12M? No3. Will Black Nativity make more than $9M? Yes4. Will Thor: The Dark World fall less than 38%? Yes5. Will Free Birds fall more than 10%? Yes6. Will at least 3 films increase? Yes7. Will Dallas Buyers Club remain in the Top 10? No8. Will any film increase by at least 175% on Friday? Yes9. Will any film fall less than 35% on Sunday? Yes10. Are you thankful that you can give any answer to this question and get 1,000 points no matter what your answer is?

Wow, pretty fucking incredible day!

Well, I had concerns about this movie being very good at all, but it looks like at bare minimum it is, and potentially even something greater. Yay! Now we just need to hear word on WOWS and everything is out in the open.

With the way the weather has turned to shit over night I could see this just missing the 2D record, but still, whew. What a relief after the doom and gloom of Friday evening until 1 in the morning.

Very, especially after the doom and gloom of yesterday. Sunday is interesting. On one hand there's football, but on the other hand a ton of people have off Monday for break and furloughs and such, but on the other other hand football isn't just a normal sunday, it's the Brady Manning bowl, and more hyped than ever. Overall, then, I think it has a normal Sunday hold. If it wasn't for Brady Manning, I could see it holding exceptionally well for an NFL sunday,

Well, just in terms of increasing significantly from yesterday. I mean like, hitting 52 or 53. I phrased it wrong. I meant just in terms of raw sellouts, it makes it harder to intrepret. I say it does pretty much right at 50.

High 150s

Absolutely doing better in D.C., Jersey, Penn, Atlanta, and Miami, all around! Really excellent day. At the same time, 25.5 of midnight gross is hard to make up, man

Between Movie 43, Grown Ups 2, and After Earth, worst movie is going to be a battle, too.

I think Before Midnight has to be the favorite this year for BOA, though I'd say it and Gravity are probably about even. So far it'd get my vote but for some reason I don't think 12 Years will do as well as it will in the real life awards.

I still think there's alot of greatness left to go, as brilliant as September, October, and early November were. In two weeks, Out of the Furnance, drops, and I'm getting a total Mud/Place Beyond the Pines vibe from it- indie location drama with action elements, brilliantly acted, well shot, weighty themes. I bet it cracks my top ten. Plus, Wall Street! Her! Anchorman! Mr. Banks! American Hustle! Maybe even the Hobbit will be good this time! 2013 has rocked after a mediocre summer and spring.

I would be boring say 12 Years A Slave is the best movie of the year so far for me, but after Futurist's near socipathic rant against it last night I'd almost fear for my safety. That movie really did live up to every inch of the hype, though. 12 YAS, Gravity, Prisoners, TITE, and Catching Fire are probably my top five so far, though I'd negotiate with Captain Phillips, Mud, Pines, and even PR being in there. Really, really great year so far even if I haven't loved anything quite as much as I loved Django.

If you generalize it that much, you can say any leading man is playing the same role in most movies. Harrison Ford, Bogart, Gosling, Smith, doesn't matter- they all do very similar things across all roles, but there's always something to distinguish it.

I know so many kids like Dane DeHannan's friend in that movie, shit, there was times where I almost fell into that category (not like that much), and man....that dude fucking NAILED it. He was pitch perfect for what the role was supposed to be.

What parts didn't you like about PBTP on second viewing? I still really enjoyed it, but I can see the "bloated" critique from first watch. Still thought Mud was better. Would have been an Oscar player if released in the fall.

Sellouts looking incredibly strong again in D.C, with excellent matinee business, but D.C has easily been a top five market for CF from from I can gather. Still really struggling a bit (compared to expectations) down home in South Florida. I don't get it. Saturday numbers are starting to get later each week, it seems. At least tonight we'll prob get estimates, which is more than I can say for most weeks recently.

True. For some reason, I expected it to take off in a wrong direction. I must have seen rainbowtrout viewing the topic

Obligatory Rth is here alert

God, why did I just bring a political war in to this already fucking crazy topic?

Yea, somebody should have told Mitt Romney, maybe he actually would have shown up.

I think I spent too much time reading about the 2012 election recently, because I read that as "Snow White and Jon Huntsman".

I kinda remember that being a big deal- most parodies and fake scripts brought it up. People (so unfairly ) hated on everything TDKR related that it just got lost in the flow of other things people didn't like

To borrow an acting term, the objective's just weren't clear. Was he crying because Zod was the last of his kind, or because he didn't like killing, or because of something else? It just didn't resonate with me.
