Counterpoint: Paranormal Activity 3.

Doesn't seem too great for Insidious. $1.6m is half of what The Purge and The Conjuring did.

I mean, Entourage is at $7.3m after Thursday and its weekend will almost certainly be under $10m. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Spy had a $17m Friday.

Spy will probably make more on Friday than Entourage will over its first 5 days.

Rushmore.

1) Will Spy make more in it's OW than Entourage does in it's first five days? Yes 2) What film will be number one this weekend? Spy 3) Will the top 3 films gross more than 90 million for the three day? Yes 4) Will Insidious make more than 3 mill for previews? No 5) Will Entourage drop more than 28% on Thursday? Yes 6) Will Spy increase on Saturday? No (including previews) 7) Will San Andreas fall more than 55.2%? No 8) Will Mad Max increase more than 93.4% on Friday? No 9) Will Pitch Perfect 2 increase more than 35% on Saturday? No 10) Will Tomorrowland have the best increase in the top 10 on Saturday? No 11) Will Poltergeist stay in the top 10? No 12) Will Spy make more than 2.5 mill for Thurs previews? Yes 13) Will Avengers increase more than 105% on Friday? Yes 14) Will San Andreas drop more than 5% on Thursday? Yes 12/14 3000 13/14 5000 14/14 10,000 What finishes in spots: 1 Spy 2 Insidious 3 5 Pitch Perfect 2 7 Avengers: Age of Ultron 9 Aloha 2000 each and a bonus of 3000 if all spots are correct. Bonus 1: What will Entourage make for the 5 day? 5000 18.724m Bonus 2: What will Insidious make OW? 5000 31.759m Bonus 3 What will MM and PP2 combine to make this weekend? 5000 17.896m

PP2 faces two new comedies this weekend, JW next weekend (not good unless Universal fudges it), and won't get much help from the Father's Day weekend. I think it'll make it, but just barely. Godzilla made $26m following a $12m third weekend last year, and I figure PP2's legs shouldn't be any worse than that, but they won't be much better either.

Streetcar is amazing.

Yeah, but will there be this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nzd0R_OeOc Thought so.

Not yet. Been jazzed for this ever since Sundance.

I'll take Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph, Princess and the Frog and maybe even Bolt all over Frozen.

For fans of Community there's also the sight of a young Richard Erdman (Leonard) in one of the major roles. Talk about a long career.

Inessential, especially compared to Wilder's classics, but still engaging fun. Holden is great.

2009 and 2010 were pretty competitive years, and we still have no idea how competitive this year will be. At this point all we have is just a bunch of buzzy names and titles.

Along with Munich it's the best thing he's done in the past 10 years. Tony Kushner should be writing all of his dramatic films.

It's OK. Not the best story but engaging performances and clever world-building.

Don't get me wrong, Theron owns all and I'd love to see her come back (provided it feels natural), but considering the franchise's history and Theron's personal experience on set of FR it's much more likely she won't return. Mad Max is much more loved and its sequel should see a nice increase. PR2 is pretty much only getting made because China.

Legacy's WOM wasn't too great, combine that with how much time would pass before Tron 3 and you have almost no chance of it increasing either domestically or worldwide. On the other hand, though MMFR might not even get to $150m DOM, enough people are crazy about it that WB should totally expect its follow-up to increase, especially if both Miller and Hardy come back.

And Under the Skin concludes the trilogy

Nvm

Weiner's "wish list" of what he wanted to do before the finale

If it's over 115 by the end of this weekend it should comfortably finish with over 140. Good enough for me tbh considering how much less it could have done.

Watch all the Lynch.

1) Will San Andreas open to more than 40 million? Yes 2) Will San Andreas have an opening day of more than 15 million? Yes 3) Will any film, in more than 2000 theaters, fall less than 42%? No 4) Will AOU fall less than 56.3%? Yes 5) Will Pitch Perfect 2 make more than Tomorrowland? Yes 6) Will Mad Max fall less than 50%? Yes 7) Will Poltergeist fall more than 59%? No 8) Will Hot Pursuit increase more than 50% on Saturday? No 9) How many films will make more than 400K on Thursday? (I'm not spelling this out for you, figure it out. How many films that are reported, will make more than 400K on Thursday..domestic only of course) 5 10) Will any film fall more than 30% on Sunday? Yes 11) Will any film increase more than 110% on Friday? Yes 12) Will Mad Max increase less than 27% on Saturday? No 10/12 3000 11/12 5000 12/12 7000 What finishes in spots: 6 Avengers: Age of Ultron 7 Poltergeist 9 Hot Pursuit 11 Furious 7 15 Woman in Gold 2000 for each spot right, bonus of 3000 if all spots correct. Bonus 1: What will be the Friday accumulated gross for the top 3 films? 5000 26.346m Bonus 2: If you add up the drops for the films that finish in spots 2-3-4, to three decimal spots, what is your total? So your answer will be something like 175.668%. 5000 138.773%

I guess Harvey really wants Cumberbatch to win that Oscar.
