Howl's Moving Castle is nothing like Up.

With the low numbers, the top 10 drops slightly more than average, down 6%. Though the Friday increase was slightly larger than normal. Good weekend anyway.

Who would you get rid of though? Hawkeye seems the obvious choice, but compared to the others he's kind of a non-character so his death wouldn't mean all that much. Killing off Captain America, for example, would be far more daring and interesting.

OK, I'm changing mine again. Adding Dinosaur and taking away Notre Dame.

It's hardly atrocious. Not that it's great by any means, it's more just bleh. The score however, is wonderful, and one I should put in my top 25.

I don't think ROTG or Flight can do it.

Good weekend.

I didn't much like it either. The film history stuff was pretty great, but everything else around it was just not.

Still will be over $200m for the 3-day overall.

It's definitely up there.

That's the one with Shawshank on it, and not Crash right? I had forgotten about Shawshank.

Well at least the top 3 have done better this year.

What is NBR?

2. Trend: Breaking Dawn - Biss zum Ende der Nacht Teil 2 (1.600T), Skyfall (550T), Cloud Atlas (200T), Das Geheimnis der Feenflügel (100T), Das Schwergewicht (100T), Hotel Transsilvanien (75T), Niko 2 - Kleines Rentier, großer Held(40T), Madagascar 3 - Flucht durch Europa (40T), Sinister (40T), Love Is All You Need (35T), Die Vermessung der Welt (25T), Cold Blood (25T).

So that's two movies over 10m. How many were there last year again (Blu-ray and DVD)?Also, I'm amazed that Sherlock Holmes 2 did so much better than MI4.

Been the biggest Bond unadjusted since Tuesday.

Even those low ends are good.

And, you know, ROTG...

Even with QOS's multi from OD, it reaches $40m. It's a much better movie than QOS, so legs will most definitely be better.

As opposed to the high range.

Even with the low numbers, it looks to be bigger than the same Friday in 2009 76.4m vs 70.3m (top 10). Admissions most likely up too.

Don't count Lincoln out, he's an American icon, so I think some people may gravitate towards the film based on that.
