$10.2 m for Catching Fire, the exact # could still change very slightly in a bit.

Probably going to be very, very close either way, but in the past when the calendar has lined up similarly (2002, 2007, 2012), this is one of those rare weekends where films aimed at adults hold up slightly better than films aimed at families on SAT/SUN.  Prob. due to some people going back to work on FRI, while hardly any kids will go back to school that day.

Wow, thats not like RTH to be off by that much. Probably had more important things to do on Christmas then give the most accurate numbers.

 

Jar can you provide a link?

 

Any daily numbers I ever post are from the studios.  I work here.

Not sure how many more will be sent to us today.

[Monday(12-23) numbers: Hobbit:DOS $7.82M, Frozen 7.24m, CF 2.28m]

It won't be #1 on Wednesday

 

Children movies show a great hold on Monday but have a bad Christmas day.

 

That's kinda like telling Olaf he will melt in the summer

[Monday(12-23) numbers: Hobbit:DOS $7.82M, Frozen 7.24m, CF 2.28m]

Frozen: $7,242,689

 

Saving Mr. Banks: $2,128,406

[Monday(12-23) numbers: Hobbit:DOS $7.82M, Frozen 7.24m, CF 2.28m]

Walking with Dinosaurs: $1,657,444

 

Have to think Frozen held up better %wise than Catching Fire and Walking with Dinosuars.  Pretty sure Disney will be sending out MON #s later today.

[Monday(12-23) numbers: Hobbit:DOS $7.82M, Frozen 7.24m, CF 2.28m]

Catching Fire: $2,278,758

BTW, actual on Dhoom 3 is $3,422,590.  There was a typo in the data that was sent out for that earlier.

[12/20-12/22/2013 actuals-except none from Paramount due to the holiday]

Interesting that Nebraska changed-it said it dropped 80% yesterday!

 

That one was just a typo by BOM.

[Weekend Numbers Smaug 31.4, AM2 26.7 Frozen/AH 19.1]

One thing to keep in mind about Anchorman 2's cost, is that I don't think there's much of a question that it had a larger marketing push than a typical $50 m film.  Just some food for thought.

[Weekend Numbers Smaug 31.4, AM2 26.7 Frozen/AH 19.1]

The daily split for American Hustle is:

 

FRI: $6.5MSAT: $7.1MSUN: $5.5M

 

I'm thinking they under-estimated Sunday a bit.

Going to throw a few $ into Smaug's change cup in a bit (someone should make a gif of Smaug with a change cup).  Adios.
