FTF

It appears people want something new before they shell out the money to see something in theaters. AR waited too long to come out and there's not enough fans to sit through a 4th been there done that movie, and Tit's main demo (young/old females) aren't paying the 3D premium to see it in theaters when they've watched it countless times on dvd/tv already.

Not that good for AR and Tit, but these "estimates" are early and will change (though she did give ranges).

I was thinking that too

He seems like all talk man, I doubt he plays the summer game.

Please post your breakdown on how this gets near $30m this weekend.

You shall like nothing and like it

I think we'll only be able to tell if this is a good or bad number when we see Friday and the Fri-Sun #'s.

I agree with Khaleesi, one of my favorite childhood movies that I still love as an adult today. A

From what I've seen, just The Raid so far. But I know I'll be buying movies that aren't out yet like TDKR, Prometheus, TA, etc.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Ocean's Trilogy...for only $16.99! Thank you Amazon deal of the week!

I only $17m from the second weekend record, so close.

So bom has $18.85 and a 130% jump. That's a good increase, but I'm sure disappointing for many after that $24m from last night.

Wait so now it's $19.5m :? ...oh, Nikki. How can she go from $24m/$75m to $19.5m/$55m in only 8 hours

Na, that's risky...don't want the gamers all pissed off if for some reason the number drops to $21-22m. I'd wait until later this morning when it's more official.

The only reason I'm happy your crazy high predictions for THG have (so far) been correct, is I want you to also be correct about your crazy high predictions for TDKR

I think the craziest/most amazing thing about THG bo run so far is its second weekend is what a month or two ago many of us (including me) thought its ow would be I wish I liked the movie more so I could be enjoying its amazing run more (which is the same reason I think Baumer hasn't been enjoying its run more either).

So it went from $18-22m to $20-24m? Crazy Friday but I'll just wait until the morning I guess for a real #

So it's anywhere from $18-22m? So glad we have these inside sources...since basically all of us predicted a Friday somewhere between $18-22m.

Why...so...early??? Oh, wait, cause every F5 refresh counts as a hit for her site.

Yeah definitely taking longer than usual

Saw this last night (thank you discount Tuesday) and while it was pretty good/ok, it wasn't great at all. Perhaps, like Baumer, this movie just wasn't for me and didn't really connect. I think it partly has to do with me having not read the book yet (I want to now though) and me being 29 and the movie clearly being aimed for a younger audience.I liked the concept, Jennifer lawerence was good, as was Harelson and Banks, but I didn't like the actor playing Peter at all (they had no chemistry, but I know that was partly on purpose) and found hardly any excitement or tension durning the games. Plus, as others have pointed out, I thought the games took weeks but in the movie in seems like only a few days and I didn't like how they "Truman showed" the results and manipulated the games with fire and weird mutant computer dogs. I also didn't feel much connection to the characters and therefore many of their deaths weren't a big deal to me (obviously those who read the book would feel different I'm sure).I also don't think the PG-13 rating, shakey cam and low budget helped things (but the PG-13 rating was always a given). Having seen, and liked, Battle Royal, and this feeling like a watered down kiddie version of that also didn't help things.Anyway, I can see how teens and college kids are eating this up, but it was just an ok/pretty good, but forgettable, movie to me.7/10 or C/C+

Yeah, no one will upset when you renege on your bet ;)Cause no one wants you to leave, and it's not hitting $450m.

Very good as most shows were more than half full, and the discount Tuesday theater by me had like 3-4 sell outs tonight.
