ok, next week I'll include both Other and None of the Above.

Weekend estimates are now up: http://www.boxoffice.com/statistics/bo_numbers/studio_estimate/2012-03-18

If I were to pick just five:A View to a Kill (Duran Duran)Live and Let Die (Wings)Diamonds Are Forever (Shirley Bassey)The World is Not Enough (Garbage)Goldfinger (Shirley Bassey)Close Cuts/Guilty Pleasures: The Living Daylights (A Ha), Thunderball (Tom Jones) and You Only Live Twice (Nancy Sinatra).

Has anyone read Darth Plagueis? I plan on picking up a copy of that before too much longer.

Yeah, I'm glad to see it have a decent start yesterday. Hoping it's able to get a few more theatres at some point.

Not sure if anyone does something like this already on the forum, but I didn't see something like it anywhere, so throwing a poll out there for the movie you want to see most for the upcoming weekend.If it gets a good # of votes, plan on throwing a new one up every Saturday.And now, let the Hunger Games domination begin.

The rest of Thursday's #s are now up: http://www.boxoffice.com/statistics/bo_numbers/daily/2012-03-16

Don't really see a thread for the upcoming Hobbit films yet, at least not in this area of the forum. So, starting one up.I think I've watched the trailer at least a dozen times so far, which I almost never do. Def. my most anticipated film of 2012. Will def. have to re-watch the trilogy at least a couple times between now and Dec. 14.

As my user name probably suggests, I think the prequels get a bad wrap, especially Attack of the Clones.Some of what I like:The Phantom MenaceThe Pod RaceWattoDarth MaulThe editing together of the final battleThe look and feel of NabooLiam NeesonAttack of the ClonesAnakin searching for and finding his motherJango Fett & Bobba FettIntroduction of the clone army on KaminoYoda vs Count DookuThe asteroid field chase (especially the seismic charges)Christopher LeeRevenge of the SithThe Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the WiseAnakin vs Obi-Wan on MustafarAnakin's Fall (younglings/separatists)Yoda vs Sidious in the SenateThe final shots of the filmGeneral GrievousThroughoutThe ScoreEwan McGregorR2-D2

For an upcoming birthday present to myself, just ordered Speed, Menace II Society, Boyz N the Hood and Friday.Also some Ren & Stimpy and Dinosaurs on DVD

I think some of it has to do with discount ticket prices on Tuesdays in some locations. 3D films that people may want to save some $ on, seem to get good Tuesday bumps later in their runs.

Sony #s are up now.

Numbers, except for Sony, are in: http://www.boxoffice.com/statistics/bo_numbers/daily/2012-03-14
