I wouldn't be surprised if this happened. My neighbors are Die Hard Fans but hated this one last night.

It finally reached that mark today!

Algren won't be very happy to find out that Bullet to the Head flopped in Russia.

#1 WARM BODIES - $1M ($24M), #2 SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK - $800k ($82M), #3 HANSEL & GRETEL - $775k ($37M) I'm so happy for SLP! site:https://twitter.com/ERCboxoffice/status/299552665841594368

It will certainly happen given that it gets to 125m domestically. Its currently at 195 WW so I don't see how it misses that mark.

I think they probably made a keying error when they meant to write 625K. Either way, that's still an excellent number.

rth or Alfred Unchained, how did the movies do yesterday?

Of course! The real question is: can it beat Argo Domestically (assuming it wins best picture)?

Wouldn't shock me if SLP moved up to #3 this weekend as Mama will face direct competition with Warm Bodies and ZDT is starting to lose steam as indicated with this weekend's drop.

Monday's top movies: #1 HANSEL & GRETEL - $1.4M ($21M), #2 SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK - $725k ($69M), #3 MAMA - $700k ($49M)

That's pretty good for it.

It already has almost 20m overseas and is ahead of The Fighter in almost all of the countries

I think it can get to at least $50M OS.

GO SLP!!!!!!

Thursday's top movies: #1 MAMA - $1.1M ($35M), #2 ZERO DARK THIRTY - $1M ($60M), #3 SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK - $900k ($59M)

I'm thinking the inauguration on TV yesterday might have hurt some of the Monday's numbers. Don't be surprised to see soft drops today.

Good for both.

Django did outstanding. Lincoln did better than expected given the subject matter is a tough sell. Bodes well for other countries when it comes out next week.

I hope this bodes well for at least $15M this weekend.

Thursday's top movies: #1 ZERO DARK THIRTY - $1.8M ($38M), #2 GANGSTER SQUAD - $1.3M ($23M), #3 DJANGO UNCHAINED - $1M ($130M)

Excellent, IMO. With much more to come overseas, I think it could see at least 250M in hopes of 400m+ WW total.

SLP was #6 yesterday! Looking good for this weekend for it!

Wednesday's top movies: #1 ZERO DARK THIRTY - $1.8M ($36M), #2 GANGSTER SQUAD - $1.3M ($21M), #3 DJANGO UNCHAINED - $1M ($129M)

Curtis Hanson:He hasn't had a hit since 8 Mile. He used to be popular in the 90s with The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, The River Wild, and LA Confidential. But in 2005, In Her shoes flopped even with critical acclaim. Then two years later, he ran out of luck with the Drew Barrymore drama, Lucky You. This caused him to take a five-year hiatus in directing theatrical movies. Then in 2012, Chasing Mavericks came out but opened even worse than LY.John McTiernan: He was popular in 1987-1990 with Predator, Die Hard, and The Hunt for Red October. But in the early 90s, he had a string of flops from Medicine Man to Last Action hero. Then, made a slight comeback for Die Hard 3 and The Thomas Crown Affair but faded out badly with The 13th Warrior, Rollerball, and Basic. Then, he went to jail for some tax evasion crime a few weeks ago.Renny Harlin: He was popular with Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger. He only directed one hit in 1999 (deep Blue Sea) But between Cliffhanger (1993) and DBS, he failed with Cutthroat Island and The Long Kiss Goodnight. Then, after 2001, he was no longer the excellent director he once was.Paul Verhoeven: He connected well with audiences with Robocop, Total Recall and the controversial 1992 thriller, Basic Instinct. In 1995, however, his popularity was officially gone when Showgirls had one of the worst reviews ever and was an instant flop. While Starship Troopers and Hollow Man a few years latter had better grosses, it was a financial flop for them.Ron Underwood: He directed the popular City Slickers and grossed $125M, which easily became one of the highest grossers of 1991. However, the rest of his movies flopped. (Heart and Souls, 1993), (Speechless, 1994), (Mighty Joe Young, 1998). But in 2002, he was involved with one of the biggest flops and generating one of the worst openers ever, (The Adventures of Pluto Nash) despite the star-power of Eddie Murphy was met with bad reviews. Then after a 3-year hiatus, he directed a movie with Usher but that flopped (In the Mix).
