Think $77m for Frozen.

No film grossing $30m on a Friday has NOT had a $70m+ weekend.

Just think.... 1/1,700th of his posts are responses to you. You're so lucky.

Thanks Rth!

So glad I upped my Derby prediction to $70.8 for CF. Unfortunately I had Frozen at $59.5.

Yes, this year as I said. December.

Cool list. Interesting. What examples do you have that are ranked above Pixar?

I wonder how many of her top lieutenants are going over with her?

I have $15.8M for Thanksgiving thursday.

Why so high for Monday? What's the rationale?

Pre-release hype was, sure. Not sure about WOM from those who have seen the movie. I don't want to declare that it will beat IM3's $409 million, but that's perfectly ok. $370-$390m is nothing to sneeze at.

Stephen Lang will be a Force Ghost.

They have another movie coming out in December. It is called Serena. I heard Cooper and Lawrence have very little screen-time together in AH.

Based on audience reactions to the ending, I don't think WOM will be as strong for the sequel.

The Batman franchise has set the OW record (2D) FIVE times!! Batman Batman Returns Batman Forever The Dark Knight The Dark Knight Rises

I don't mind watching Bond movies during the Christmas holidays. Weird...

Yikes, $9m for Delivery Man? I can see it doing 3x as much. I have about $190m for HG:CF. No record
