Something is definitely wrong here. Right now there are 300-350 screens in Ukraine. In 1996 I doubt we had 50 working screens. 1998 Titanic 5.1m2002 MiB2 6.7m2002 The Fellowship of the Ring 7.2m2002 Harry Potter and The Chambers of Secrets 8m2003 The Two Towers 9.4m2003 Matrix Reloaded 11.5m2003 Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines 12.8m

Around $2 mln opening day for The Expendables 2. Good enough at least for $8.5-9 ml Total Recal dropped by 70%.l

The Dark Knight Rises drop has nothing to do with quality or word of mouth. It's just very frontloaded thanks to Nolan's fan base. Last week the multiplyer 3.7 was really awful. Saturday gross was less than Thursday. This week it will be much better so it's heading for around 65% drop. Ted should gross around $5.5m for the weekend.

First Thursday estimates1. Ted 1,373,0002. The Dark Knight Rises 566,000 (-74%)3. Ice Age 4 300,000 (-54%)4. Step Up 4 174,000 (-73%)5. Marsupilami 109,000

Expected number in Russia is between $3 and 4m this weekend.

Only Ted with around 650 screens. Could beat The Dark Knight Rises actually. And 6 or even 7 smaller wide releases. 2 french films Marsupilami (380 screens) and Cendrillon au Far West (300 screens), chinese Flowers of War (100 screens), japanese horror Sadaco 3D (200 screens).

The Dark Knight Rises was very frontloaded so updated estimates are less than the first ones. $7.96m without previews and $8.19m with previews. Ice Age 4 grossed $3.49m after 62% drop. $40.7m totalStep Up 4 is well below the 3rd movie with $2.71m on 780 screens.
