I have no dog in this fight. I haven't seen the movie or read the book. In fact, I love it when low budget films make gobs of money. Take heed Hollywood. I just remember walking to a midnight screening of EOT. As I approached the theater (which was still out of sight) I heard all this noise, the noise of hundreds of people. "Are all the bars open on Thursday night?" I looked down and the mall was empty except for a sports bar but that wasn't where the noise was coming from. As I got closer I could tell the crowds were at the theater. "This can't be for EOT..what gives" Then I saw masses of teenagers coming out of a theater with signed copies of FIOS copies. I had forgotten about this movie. I heard a couple of "that was awesome" like comments. In short, it just seems like a movie where there is alot of excitement to see it on OD/OW. Friday was VERY frontloaded. Given the kind of hype and the type of audience it appeals to, if it can sustain an audience over the following weeks, I will surprised. If it drops more than 60% next weekend, I won't be.
