It's a landslide victory for MI4. Many people thought that Shitmunks and Sherlock: A Game of Bore will easily outgross it and some had Dragon Tattoo over it as well. So I'm pretty happy how this holiday turned out. My only wish is to get someone to shoot Alvin and pump life to Tintin to reach 100m. War Horse will IMO if gets nominated for BAFTA and Oscar.

Boxing Day report: MI4 IMAX - morning 60% full, rest of the day all sold out, Sir Paul McCartney came to watch it. SH2 - dead during the day, packed in the evening, DT - solid during the day, 70% full at night, expected to do better.
Okay for MI4, should do 30m next weekend and perform strongly during the week. Horrible for every other opener. DT should recover in January, but not enough for 100m.
Maybe a couple of November releases could move. Devotion will be big for the teenager crowd before Thanksgiving. Emily Brunt confirmed to star. We need more family films. I have one idea, but it won't be ready for Year 2.
Lethargic numbers. Not to worry about MI, it should perform strong next week and increase over the weekend. Awful for everything else, now we need the horse to overperform.

That's fine, there's an 8 months gap between them. And yes, I expect at leastn 80% RT score Then you're going to love this one. My only concern is to find bankable stars, who can sing, too.
