It isn’t still behind expectations but not a bad drop. Notes from the Otherspace fell only -8.2% with a solid $11.2M. Word of mouth is kicking in strong and expect this critical darling to stay in the Top 10 for the long run. The Howling - $24,373,119 million Gamera- $15,288,893 million (-50.9%) Notes from the Otherspace- $11,234,978 (-8.2%) Miraculous- $9,627,777 million The Scavenger Wars- $8,621,659 million Things Fall Apart - $6,751,485 million Gentle Ben- $4,095,124 million Island of the Blue Dolphins- $1,302,843 million The Odyssey: The Counsel of the Dead- $766,007 thousand The Inversion- $689,162 thousand Friday, August 23rd Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad opened with $31.9M which is a respectable number.

August is gonna be a dramatic month.

August is within the hour! Then thats it for tonight

It will be what it will be.

Facts are facts. Not all films can smash $100M especially original properties. Original properties rely heavily on legs not the initial opening weekend.

Friday, July 5th Howling Commandos strikes with $39.1M opening weekend. Reviews were mixed but audiences loved the fun and awarded it a B+. Howling Commandos saw large support from the male demographic. Island of the Blue Dolphins opened strong with $29.6M. Island of the Blue Dolphins demographic wise saw strong females, ages 18-29, and minority support. The film earned a B+ as well from audiences, altogether an A from ages 18-29. The lowest grade (B-) came from ages 30-49 and one can deduce that families didn’t like the more mature themes. The Odyssey 2 continued to impress despite losing audiences to Howling. The Odyssey 2 remains a force to be dealt with. Call of Duty fell a better than expected -54.9% with $20.3M. The video game war film as projected last week shouldn’t suffer the same fate as BioShock. The Hills Abduction fell -59.1% to $6.3M. Howling Commandos - $39,115,186 million/$66,833,675 million Island of the Blue Dolphins – $29,558,022 million/$50,425,118 million The Odyssey: The Counsel of the Dead- $20,568,111 million Call of Duty- $20,296,390 million (-54.9%) Hills Abduction- $6,316,777 million (-59.1%) Second Wind: Stormy Seas- $3,600,548 million Ripper- $2,895,174 million Finding Gobi- $2,538,826 million Dan the Alpaca- $1,865,934 million He-Man II: The Revenge of Skeletor- $1,739,841 million Friday, July 12th The Great Inferno surprised with $23.4M and apparently audiences are into fun popcorn flicks this year (EDF, Gods of War, Howling Commandos and now this). The Great Inferno earned a B rating and likely will suffer at the hands of Scavenger Wars next weekend. Island of the Blue Dolphins held well at $19.0M as its story of POC female empowerment resonates with audiences. (DuVernay is crying somewhere..why did O$corp give her Redeeming Love) Howling Commandos head well with $20.2M. Inversion opened with $14.0M right along expectations. The Odyssey 2 is currently throwing more sprinkles on the cake with $12.0M. It is earning $1.7M more than Spark 2 did on its 5th weekend (shade) The Great Inferno - $23,428,390 million Howling Commandos- $20,154,048 million (-48.5%) Island of the Blue Dolphins- $19,002,723 million (-35.7%) Inversion - $14,009,482 million The Odyssey: The Counsel of the Dead- $12,007,348 million Call of Duty- $11,165,373 million The Hills Abduction- $3,459,141 million Second Wind: Stormy Seas- $1,899,580 million Ripper- $1,867,089 million Finding Gobi- $1,418,995 million Friday, July 19th The Scavenger Wars opened with $91.2M and immediately demonstrated that it is the event film of July. Audiences agreed with an A rating. The Scavengers Wars opened below high expectations of $100M+ but…..it does have a barren second weekend. We are gonna keep our eye on this film. The Great Inferno got burned with a -60.3% drop. Inversion escaped a -50% fall with $7.1M. The Odyssey 2 finally fell behind Spark 2 in 6th weekend comparisons with $5.6M. The Scavenger Wars – $91,156,066 million Island of the Blue Dolphins- $10,908,502 million Howling Commandos- $9,606,374 million The Great Inferno- $9,290,164 million (-60.3%) Inversion- $7,119,489 million (-49.2%) The Odyssey: The Counsel of the Dead- $5,624,380 million Call of Duty- $4,800,005 million The Hills Abduction- $1,621,350 million Ripper- $908,012 thousand Second Wind: Stormy Seas- $888,885 thousand Friday, July 26th The Scavenger Wars fell to $46.7M with an expected -48.8% fall. Spark 2 fell -60% and The Odyssey 2 fell -52%. The Scavenger Wars ranked as the third most anticipated film of Year 3 Summer so we wouldn’t be surprised if it held better than the previous two. Gentle Ben delivered $17.8M opening weekend….PETA be praised! The Scavenger Wars- $46,654,984 million (-48.8%) Gentle Ben – $17,754,320 million Island of the Blue Dolphins- $6,554,091 million Howling Commandos- $4,934,475 million The Great Inferno- $4,651,577 million Inversion- $3,844,940 million The Odyssey: The Counsel of the Dead- $3,525,998 million Call of Duty- $2,689,420 million Hills Abduction- $862,457 thousand Ripper- $609,134 thousand

Going for a run and then July will be up!

Friday, June 7th He-Man II lead the box office with $30.6M as the overall box office cooled after a red hot May. Ripper opened with $23.5M and was welcomed with positive reviews. Being different than most of the Year 3 summer films will help it in the weeks to come. Dan the Alpaca opened with $21.1M, which isn’t terrible even if it is below expectations. It should see a similar story as Ripper. He-Man II: The Revenge of Skeletor- $30,557,171 million (-58.8%) Ripper - $23,451,500 million Dan the Alpaca - $21,119,482 million God of War- $11,156,003 million Spark: Homeward- $5,974,585 million BioShock- $4,076,439 million Aerophobia- $3,168,995 million (-52.3%) Zoldar: Warrior Beast from Outer Space- $2,202,621 million Cataclysmic- $842,680 million Battletoads- $703,329 million Friday, June 14th (My Birthday too! ) The Odyssey: The Counsel of the Dead smashed $161.3M opening weekend. The acclaimed sequel was highly anticipated by fans of the first. The film should see a nice long run in the weeks to come thanks to an A rating from audiences. Ripper dipped to $14.2M, which is very promising and Dan the Alpaca fell to $12.5M. The rest of the films fell harder do to Odyssey 2 stealing most moviegoers The Odyssey: The Counsel of the Dead – $161,285,727 million Ripper- $14,168,994 million (-39.6%) He-Man II: The Revenge of Skeletor- $12,865,099 million Dan the Alpaca- $12,461,843 million (-41.0%) God of War- $4,298,777 million Spark: Homeward- $3,000,420 million BioShock- $1,564,534 million Aerophobia- $1,425,001 million Zoldar: Warrior Beast from Outer Space- $976,332 million Battletoads- $514,706 million Friday, June 21st The Odyssey 2 dominated with $77.1M on its second weekend. It should be a close battle between Spark 2 and Odyssey 2 for biggest film of the summer. Second Wind: Stormy Seas opened with an expected $15.6M and Finding Gobi opened with $9.7M. Audiences apparently decided to see Odyssey 2 or take a weekend off from seeing films. The Odyssey: The Counsel of the Dead- $77,055,329 million (-52.2%) Second Wind: Stormy Seas - $15,555,296 million Finding Gobi - $9,689,123 million Ripper- $8,511,592 million Dan the Alpaca- $7,725,220 million He-Man II: The Revenge of Skeletor- $7,018,845 million God of War- $2,152,175 million Spark: Homeward- $1,837,654 million BioShock- $798,116 million Aerophobia- $791,007 million Friday, June 28th Call of Duty opened below expectations with $45.1M opening weekend. Action films have dominated May and it appears audiences are tired. Mixed reviews didn’t help either. Audiences gave the film a B and legs are very much up in the air. Still it avoided being as front-loaded on Friday as BioShock so that’s promising. The Odyssey 2 pulled $40.2M on its third weekend. Amazing number and that’s a fact. Hills Abductions opened with a better than expected $15.4M. The sci-fi mockumentary provided to be something different for moviegoers. Call of Duty - $45,079,144 million The Odyssey: The Counsel of the Dead- $40,168,345 million Hills Abduction - $15,433,142 million Second Wind: Stormy Seas- $7,232,118 million (-53.5%) Finding Gobi- $5,430,007 million (-44.0%) Ripper- $5,195,606 million Dan the Alpaca- $5,022,783 million He-Man II: The Revenge of Skeletor- $3,710,219 million God of War- $1,049,527 million Spark: Homeward- $914,988 million

Friday, May 3rd Spark: Homeward bound opens with a stunning $184.1M opening weekend. Summer has officially begun! Spark: Homeward not only broke ticket sales but also pulled one of the biggest opening weekends in years. The hyped sequel pulled a respectable A- from audiences and should continue to be a monster the next few weeks. Cataclysmic felt the punch of Spark 2 and dropped to $20.4M. After next weekend, Cataclysmic will face competition throughout the rest of the month. Battletoads also felt the impact of Spark 2 and dropped to $9.0M. Unlike Cataclysmic, Battletoads faces little to no competition for the rest of the month. It should stabilize over the next few weeks. Spark: Homeward – $184,115,091 million Cataclysmic- $20,428,884 million Battletoads- $9,015,690 million Lilo and Stitch- $5,640,328 million Unknown Sender- $2,652,223 million (-67.8%) Student Film- $1,908,432 million Penguins- $1,300,004 million Bronze Bow- $980,398 million Storyteller- $882,156 million RuPaul’s Best Friend Race- $598,675 million (-70.0%) Friday, May 10th (Mother’s Day Weekend) Spark: Homeward to no surprise claimed #1 again. With a -60.2% drop, Spark 2 hauled $73.2M its second weekend. The drop was good considering how high it opened and Spark 2’s only real rival this month is He-Man 2 which opens at the end of the month. $400M+ is all but sealed. Cataclysmic fell to $11.0M and continues to perform well. Redeeming Love flopped with $6.2M opening weekend. The O$corp + DuVernay female film centric film is a rare miss fire for the duo. Their previous openings landed at $30.2M and $31.7M. No word if the duo is teaming up next year. Battletoads stabilized as expected with $5.6M and Lilo and Stitch remains in the Top 5 with $3.2M. Spark: Homeward- $73,237,234 million (-60.2%) Cataclysmic- $11,016,462 million Redeeming Love – $6,193,333 million Battletoads- $5,589,775 million Lilo and Stitch- $3,215,059 million Student Film- $1,507,320 million The Unknown Sender- $1,087,794 million Penguins- $781,123 million The Bronze Bow- $548,800 million The Storyteller- $521,131 million Friday, May 17th BioShock slammed $59.1M opening weekend. Name brand and hype for the popular video game triggered this strong opening. Still, it was very front-loaded on Friday and audiences gave the film a B-. God of War opens next weekend as direct competition. Spark: Homeward got removed from #1 but still pulled an impressive $38.8M on its 3rd weekend. Under the Sea opened with $5.0M and thats pretty good considering we had three nature docs already this year. BioShock - $59,118,020 million Spark: Homeward- $38,815,612 million Cataclysmic- $5,508,389 million Under the Sea - $5,035,110 million Battletoads- $3,665,909 million Redeeming Love- $2,619,365 million (-57.7%) Lilo and Stitch- $1,929,001 million Student Film- $1,035,292 million Penguins- $437,361 million The Unknown Sender- $347,749 million Friday, May 24th (4-day Memorial Day Weekend) God of War slammed $60.7M opening weekend and $71.8M over the long weekend. The film had an excellent marketing campaign and played itself as a fun popcorn action flick. Audiences gave the film a B+ however it faces He-Man II on its second weekend so legs are iffy. Spark: Homeward pulled $22.9M and $28.1M over the weekend. The film continues to impress. BioShock fell -68.2% over the weekend and racked in $18.8M/$22.8M. The film is struggling to reach a wider audience than gamers and die-hard fans. Zoldar got trampled by the crowded market and opened with $10.2M. Mediocre reviews didn’t help its case. God of War - $60,695,480 million/71,823,757 million/$78,509,472 million Spark: Homeward- $22,892,830 million/$28,125,003 million BioShock- $18,817,773 million/$22,791,566 million (-68.2%) Zoldar: Warrior Beast from Outer Space - $10,179,389 million/$12,413,914 million Cataclysmic- $2,864,160 million/$3,450,250 million Under the Sea- $2,718,886 million/$3,314,146 million (-46.0%) Battletoads- $2,346,175 million/$2,826,506 million Lilo and Stitch- $1,254,853/$1,512,203 million Redeeming Love- $1,204,740 million/$1,451,111 million Student Film- $851,040 million/$1,025,300 million Friday, May 31st We weren’t joking when we reported May ticket sales were higher than last year. He-Man II opened with a strong $74.1M opening weekend. Considering all the competition over the past few weeks, this is impressive. Luckily for He-Man II, its got a week to make cash before The Odyssey 2 opens. God of War fell -63.85 with a $22.0 second weekend. This drop wasn’t a surprise to much. It still is performing well ahead of predictions. Spark: Homeward dipped to $10.3M and everything here out is gravy. Aerophobia failed to connect with audiences given its bizarre nature and opened with $6.6M. He-Man II: The Revenge of Skeletor – $74,109,398 million God of War- $22,005,178 million (-63.8%) Spark: Homeward- $10,305,464 million BioShock- $8,260,010 million Aerophobia - $6,643,124 million Zoldar: Warrior Beast from Outer Space- $4,443,198 million (-56.3%) Battletoads- $1,431,239 million Cataclysmic- $1,375,025 million Under the Sea- $1,348,125 million Lilo and Stitch- $752,400 million

Friday, April 5th Lilo and Stitch continue to dominate the box office with a -50.3% drop, which is great drop for an opening weekend over $100M. The film fell to a terrific $55.4M and currently sits over $190M at the box office. Look for it to hang on to its #1 spot next weekend. Penguins opened with a solid $8.2M and received an A rating from audiences. Who doesn’t love penguins. The film should hold until Earth Day. Student Film saw another terrific hold with $8.0M. Lilo and Stitch- $55,361,119 million (-50.3%) Penguins - $8,156,492 million Student Film- $8,018,531 million The Bronze Bow- 6,147,864 million The Storyteller - $3,341,657 million Earth Defense Force- $2,790,166 million Soul Calibur- $1,644,001 million And the Band Played On- $1,002,996 million My People- $744,940 million The Parvelli Reunion- $744,935 million Friday, April 12th Lilo and Stitch held on with $34.2M as the film continues its amazing run. It is now eyeing $250M, which it should crush next weekend. It has benefited greatly from a slow release schedule. The Lonely disappointed with $8.5M. Word of mouth from audiences was poor with a D-. The depressing film should fade out into the blackness over the next few weeks. Student Film shot into #3 with $5.8M and continues to make a name for itself. Penguins fell a better than average -33.0% with $5.5M. Lilo and Stitch- $34,192,901 million The Lonely – $8,513,337 million Student Film- $5,812,895 million Penguins- $5,464,926 milion (-33.0%) The Storyteller- $5,068,450 million The Bronze Bow- $3,979,564 milion Earth Defense Force- $1,618,997 million Soul Calibur- $857,070 million And the Band Played On- $722,855 million The Parvelli Reunion- $510,977 million Friday, April 19th (Easter Weekend) Easter weekend was red hot. Cataclysmic exploded with $86.0M. Excellent marketing and a box office draught helped the film reach these heights. Unfortunately, Spark 2 opens in just a few weeks so legs might be cut short. Still it is a major success story and audiences agreed with an A score. Battletoads opens with $26.9M, which is respectable given the family competition. Audiences enjoyed the film with a B+ score. It has an outside change to reach $100M if audiences keep turning out. Lilo and Stitch fell to $17.2M and is basically just throwing extra cash on its gigantic sum. The Bronze Bow surged due to the East weekend with $4.3M. The film has performed better than most religious films. The Lonely plummeted -65.8% with $2.9M. Another 60% drop next weekend is expected. Student Film fell outside of the Top 5 with $4.2M. It could pop back in next weekend given Penguins and The Bronze Bow’s primary dates are over (Earth Day and Easter). Cataclysmic – $86,003,584 million Battletoads - $26,912,224 million Lilo and Stitch- $17,180,345 million Penguins- $4,823,138 million The Bronze Bow- $4,336,550 million Student Film- $4,242,069 million The Lonely- $2,907,075 million (-65.8%) The Storyteller- $2,906,004 million Earth Defense Force- $695,534 million And the Band Played On- $503,452 million Friday, April 26th Cataclysmic dominated with a -43.4% drop. Audience definitely thought it was worth a strong second weekend. The film has pulled $48.7M on the eve of Spark 2. The film definitely needed a weekend like this. Cataclysmic has blasted past $150M domestic already and $200M should be locked even with Spark 2 opening next weekend. Battletoads fell gently -32.6% with $18.1M its second weekend. The film just slide past $50M domestic this weekend and $100M is kind of beginning to look slim. Unknown Sender opened with a slightly higher than forecasted $8.2M. RuPaul’s Best Friend Race bombed with $2.0M this weekend. The film will be out of theaters in 2 weeks. Lilo and Stitch fell to $12.0M Cataclysmic- $48,658,127 million (-43.4%) Battletoads- $18,128,431 million (-32.6%) Lilo and Stitch- $12,014,222 million Unknown Sender - $8,232,549 million Student Film- $3,558,120 million Penguins- $2,604,210 million The Bronze Bow- $2,000,489 million RuPaul's Best Friend Race - $1,995,791 million The Storyteller- $1,800,851 million The Lonely- $1,050,143 million

Friday, March 1st Earth Defense Force shatters the box office with 64.3M. After months without a major blockbuster this opening over $60M is no surprise. Tracking increased throughout the upcoming weeks. Earth Defense Force received mostly positive reviews and a B+ rating from audiences. It shouldn’t fall off as harshly as most blockbusters due to the unusually dead March. Livestream held well with a -37.5% drop. While still far behind initial predictions, Livestream is holding up surprisingly well. Nerdy opened with $4.5M and received mostly negative reviews. Families opted for the more positive My Peoples which dropped to $14.4M. My Peoples chances at $200 million are dead however it will lock a finish over $175M. Big win for the studio. Earth Defense Force – $64,345,890 million My Peoples- 14,410,733 million Livestream- $6,451,567 million (-37.5%) Nerdy - $4,456,011 million Father- $2,710,473 million Dark Side- $1,798,348 million Voltron: Rise of Lotor- $1,559,822 million And the Band Played On- $1,110,457 million The Parvelli Reunion- $1,099,511 million From Earth to Infinity: An Odyssey Through Space- $902,481 million Friday, March 8th Earth Defense Force dropped -54.8% to $29.1M. It should stabilize in the weeks to come. 2 Lonely 2 Zookeepers didn’t pull in audiences and opened with $9.1M. Audiences appear to be saving their money for the upcoming major tentpoles.

Reviews were positive and audiences for clearly up for a feel good film. Audiences gave the film an A rating and look for it to be a surprise hit with a leggy run. SoulCalibur opened with a disappointing $17.9M, which is slightly lower than expected. Its future is less secure than Student Film. Earth Defense Force dropped to $15.4M as it lost audiences to SoulCalibur and Student Film. Student Film - $27,973,123 million SoulCalibur - $17,900,384 million Earth Defense Force- $15,423,337 million My Peoples- $5,562,229 million 2 Lonely 2 Zookeepers- $4,500,117 million (-50.7%) Livestream- $2,624,274 million Nerdy- $1,280,005 million And the Band Played On- $887,206 million Voltron: Rise of Lotor- $885,148 million Father- $765,551 million Friday, March 22nd The Bronze Bow opened with a solid $18.1M as Christian audiences folked to the better than average Biblical inspired film. It received an A from audiences and could play well until Easter weekend. Student Film however is the story of the week, holding onto #1 with $19.9M and a sexy -28.7% drop. The film has topped $50M at the box office and could reach $100M. The same can’t be said for Soul Calibur which fell -60.6% to $7.0M. The film hasn’t topped $30M yet and is sore bomb.

This is a massive win for animated to live action films. It also proved how a good release date mixed with months of low competition (and upcoming dead zones) can boost a film to greater heights. Lilo and Stitch earned an A- from audiences and has knocked My Peoples from the primary family film. Lilo and Stitch is the highest opening of the animated classics to live action adoptions and could beat out the much anticipated Prince of Egypt in final numbers. We will find out in December/January. Meanwhile Student Film held well with $11.3M and the Bronze Bow dipped to $10.0M with a -44.8% drop.

Spoiler- Redeeming Love

Friday, February 1st Voltron: Rise of Lotor reappeared in #1 over Super Bowl weekend. It was a very depressing weekend with no film topping $10M. Ice Station opened with $7.5M, which is below expectations but pretty average for a Jason Statham. Reviews were negative and audiences didn’t seem thrilled giving it a C+. The rest of the holdovers performed well this weekend. Next weekend, will be the first serious competition for many films. From Earth to Infinity held very well and should continue to play well as audiences enjoyed the cinematic IMAX experience. Voltron: Rise of Lotor- $9,823,530 million Conductive- $8,944,016 million Ice Station- $7,510,030 million Exorcism of Jessica Winters- $4,851,238 million Chessmen- $6,098,774 million From Earth to Infinity: An Odyssey Through Space- $4,687,273 million (-22.0%) Burnout- $3,494,642 million And the Band Played On- $3,011,944 million The Parvelli Reunion- $2,745,996 million Spyro: Dragon Heart- $2,015,791 million Friday, February 8th My Peoples smashed expectations (not surprisingly) with $52.1M. Earning an A- from audiences, My Peoples will play very well until the end of March when its first real competition arrives. It also launched the largest opening weekend of Year 3, but will need a rare 3.84 multiplier to reach the prized $200M. This actually seems pretty possible. President’s Day next weekend could be a nice boost . Dark Side launched the largest debut for the Poison and Wine trilogy with $25.3M. The film’s slick and aggressive marketing campaign, which emphasised how the final film was gonna push the R- rating to new limits is a big thanks. Still the box office number never matched the wildly high social media hype. People are probably waiting to watch it on HBO in the secrecy of their own homes. Reviews were slightly improved for the finale and audiences gave it a C+. Dark Side unlike My Peoples is a one week event. Look for it to fade after February 14th. Ice Station fell to $3.4M and will be soon forgotten. My Peoples - $52,134,459 million Dark Side - $25,258,143 million Voltron: Rise of Lotor- $7,049,833 million Conductive- $4,887,302 million Ice Station- $3,372,228 million (-55.1%) From Earth to Infinity: An Odyssey Through Space- $2,658,889 million Exorcism of Jessica Winters- $2,639,458 million The Parvelli Reunion- $2,550,119 million Chessmen- $2,335,556 milion And the Band Played On- $2,330,779 million Thursday, February 14th (Valentine’s Day)/Friday, February 15th (4-day Presidents’ Day Weekend) My Peoples unsurprising held to #1 easing down -37.4% on its second weekend. It managed to pull over $40M on its 4-day, which is very encouraging for its future prospects. $200M will still be tight. Father surprised with $15.8M on the three day and $20.6M on the five day. It opened on Valentine’s Day but Father really isn’t a Valentine’s Day film. It saw a strong increase on Friday. Audiences gave it a C rating, which is standard for a horror film. Cupid’s Quest was critically panned and opened with $4.5M on the three day and $6.2M on the five day. Audiences rejected the film with a D+ rating and instead flocked to My Peoples. Cupid’s Quest will burnout soon. Dark Side fell -56% its second weekend and should dive even further next weekend. The film already has surpassed Truth Is so everything here out is bonus cash. My Peoples- $32,564,475 million/$40,814,391 million (-37.4%) Father - $15,779,393 million/$18,540,116 million/$20,600,007 million Dark Side- $11,114,781 million/$13,195,204 million (-56.0%) Cupid's Quest - $4,454,841 million/$5,235,176 million/$6,187,250 million Voltron: Rise of Lotor- $4,355,205 million/$5,635,767 million Conductive- $2,548,219 million/$2,941,111 million And the Band Played On- $2,111,868 million/$2,745,559 million The Parvelli Reunion- $2,005,385 million/$2,565,249 million From Earth to Infinity: An Odyssey Through Space- $1,917,129 million/$2,261,110 million Ice Station- 1,587,224 million/$1,845,590 million Friday, February 22nd My Peoples claimed #1 again with $22.0 million. My People currently stands with #133.1M in the bank and will continue to rack in cash over the following weekends. $200M might be out of reach. Livestream fell almost 50% under-predictions with $10.3M. Audiences didn’t seem to react much to the unique filming style. Still it earned a B+ rating from audiences and could potentially far well in the weeks to come. Father fell -63% in its second weekend with a $5.8M weekend.Cupid’s Quest dipped -57.7% with $1.9M. Should continue to fall within this range and disappear soon. My Peoples- $22,045,978 million Livestream - $10,320,487 million Father- $5,841,169 million (-63.0%) Dark Side- $4,217,775 million Voltron: Rise of Lotor- $2,664,009 million Cupid’s Quest- $1,884,487 million (-57.7%) And the Band Played On- $1,559,299 million From Earth to Infinity: An Odyssey Through Space- $1,365,555 million Conductive- $1,320,885 million The Parvelli Reunion- $1,254,393 million

Well throw your opinion around since you are a spectator mostly

Now will it eclipse Battletoads? Let's say it does numbers in that range and with Chessmen doing solid and My People (according to predictions) looking like a solid hit, will Battletoads feel the fall out? After all, families have limited cash for movies. Can Battletoads perform well? Also will Spark 2 be like a Marvel PG-13 film and draw families as a cinematic event for all? (4 quadrants). Will this hurt Battletoads since families could be saving money for Spark 2.

In the Oscars? Can you vote? Yes, I voted. I voted before everybody else did though.

What are you all thinking for Lilo and Stitch? Animation to live actions films in CAYOM have been successful. Lilo and Stitch is a very well known brand and March is dead. Or because review wise it is the weakest of the recent animation to live action trend will is do lower than the previous films?
