1. X-Men: Days of Future Past2. The Hobbit: There and Back Again3. Interstellar4. Transcendence5. Inherent Vice6. Gone Girl7. Dumb and Dumber To8. Big Hero 69. The Amazing Spider-Man 210. Godzilla

Not sure how big of an expansion it will be, but Freestyle is saying that they will be expanding God's Not Dead this weekend.

1. X-Men: Days of Future Past2. The Hobbit: There and Back Again3. Interstellar4. Transcendence5. Inherent Vice6. Dumb and Dumber To7. Big Hero 68. Bad Words9. Noah10. Gone Girl

1. X-Men: Days of Future Past2. The Hobbit: There and Back Again3. Interstellar4. Transcendence5. Inherent Vice6. Muppets Most Wanted7. Dumb and Dumber To8. Big Hero 69. Bad Words10. Noah

Not that it matters much at this point in the film's run, but Monuments Men increasing 23 percent on Thursday seems kinda odd.

1. X-Men: Days of Future Past2. The Hobbit: There and Back Again3. Interstellar4. Transcendence5. Inherent Vice6. Dumb and Dumber To7. Muppets Most Wanted8. Big Hero 69. Bad Words10. The Grand Budapest Hotel

Maybe I'll be surprised, but it would need to hold similarly to Great Gatsby from here on out to hit $50 m (and that opened at 10 pm instead of 8 pm).

Would be at $39 m/$40 m if it pulled a Watchmen from here on out (that was at $4.6 m). Prob. not quite as front-loaded in nature as Watchmen, but opening at 8 p.m. instead of midnight could make up the difference and then some in the comparison.

As far as weekend estimates reporting goes, the studios with films towards the top of the charts tend to report slower on those given weekends. Couldn't tell you why, just tends to work that way.

Doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of GREAT films from each of the listed directors. Google, Wikipedia and Netflix are your friends. On a more serious note, whether someone agrees with those choices or not as being "snubs", wouldn't hurt to at least be familiar with the careers of each of the directors I listed. Maybe at least some of them will strike some interest with some members, and if so, then it made making the post worth it to me. That is all.
