Quite often?

GOOD FUCKING GRAVY I don't even want to see this one but that's impressive.

It could still hit $230m... barely

Oogieloves

Probably not, the only December 2012 family releases were Monsters Inc 3D and Parental Guidance. Though, BH6 dropped slightly less compared to Ralph's pre-Christmas weekend and is in far more theaters.

Dawn of the Apes and Edge of Tomorrow were the best studio flicks this summer

RIP 3D 2009-2012

It would be nice to have a non-sequel 2D-only original film at #1 So Interstellar? *no IMAX So... Neighbors? Lucy?

This is going into Christmas week with about a thousand more theaters than Wreck-It Ralph had.

BH6 finally above Penguins in the dailies

In a Snow Crash style future, I'd probably go with Disney.

just surreal

This was the perfect kind of "see once in theaters with a crowd" type thing, I worry it will play flat as a rental, if Sony is forced to go that route.

Great holds with college kids home. My nearest 15/70 is a dual format theater so it's showing Hobbit now.

Yup, it's up to $340m in my CF comp now.

comp updates: MJ1: $330-335m. Too close to call vs GOTG. Went up a lot with the last few days' data. BH6: $220m, was hovering around that but it's pretty much locked in at this point.

Still on track for $215-220m.

Noooooo now it's under $220m going by WIR. Please go up with actuals.

It's still on track.

BH6 and Penguins might only be a few dozen K apart on Monday.

I don't know how to cope with this.

Home looks like a total trainwreck from top to bottom. No way it does much above $100m. At least there will be new Rihanna music with it.

ha, I kept reading HB2 as BH6

My CF comp gives $306 with that Wednesday number My WIR comp for BH6 gives $233 with a $5m Wed. BH6's week 3 pta is almost 50% higher than Ralph's in 10% more theaters.
