Just one question on the first week - no need to panic yet!

Me too mattrek

well Fake, I really just chose the five films that I couldn't see getting past more than 25-30 million. Not a brilliant strategy, but I kinda felt like it was akin to throwing paint at a wall and hoping to hit the right area with a blind fold on.

I concur now to go change my answers lol

It's all good Baumer - I work 2 jobs and go to school full time so I totally understand. Thanks for putting this together!

Awesome! Can't wait - hope to do better than last year.

Good but somewhat expected numbers.

Good numbers for crooks if they stick - decent for joe but not great 45m looks unlikely.

Good numbers all around.

Good Numbers - always nice to see over 3m on a weekday

Nikki has Saturday numbers - +60 for croods and + 80 for oz. 44/30/23 for top 3.

Decent, Great and Horrible in that order for the new releases. It was a mad house at our big multiplex - talked to the attendent at the concession counter and she said they had sold more in $$ by 1200 today then all week combined. Everything should have decent bumps today I am thinking.

Friday increases will be more muted this weekend.... Trade off for the great weekdays

Looking forward to it!

Tis a game really - jack is infinitely better than Snow White and just a wonderful albeit predictable adventure. We had a lot of fun last night but predictably our theater was pretty bare

I didn't find DH5 bad tbh, but I can see where others would have issues. My wife has only seen the 1st - we watched it last month in prep for this and she thought it was great and so did our audience (or so it seemed). Just think there are too many action flicks out right now

Awesome for IT! Not too shabby for the other two either

Vow wasn't sparks though - the vow was a true story

I'd theft isn't a bad movie - by the numbers yes and not for someone who doesn't enjoy the occasional fast food style movie but still entertaining . Wouldn't be surprised with a horrible bosses type run and a finish around 105m.

So why the separation of warm bodies 10pms from Friday? They haven't done that for the other films

And really while SLP is doing great the 2010 season was more exciting IMO - true grit / black swan / kings speech all blowing past expectations - particularly black swan
