That's a really good hold for Gravity despite the large theater count loss.

[lilmac]

My prediction: 60% post Thanksgiving and lets say $18m in dailies that week.  $343 million.

 

  45% drops from there on out.  $408 million at a minimum

[htall90]

fell short of batman again lol!

How do you paste it as a table and not unstructured gobblygook??

[lilmac]

Despicable Me 2 increased.  It will not die.  

[Moviefanatic]

Love the estimates, Catching Fire still has a shot at 75m+

 

Was hoping Thor would fall less than 20%

Yep. So happy that this will end that damn 400 million rule.

Exhibitor Relations ‏@ERCboxoffice 6s

THOR: THE DARK WORLD snared $23M worldwide this wknd, for a mighty global tally of $591M--$187.7M domestic, $404.4 int'l.

 

So 12 M international? Might finish with 650 M worldwide.

[DAR]

Awesome for the top 2

There is a box when you post charts that says html, click it.

[DAR]

One of my favorites as well

Mine as well

[lilmac]

Free Birds got destroyed (even when considering the theater loss)

[rockNrollaDIM]

Yep. So happy that this will end that damn 400 million rule.

All kneel for Katniss Everdeen, the Unflopped, Mother of Lawsbians, Breaker of Box Office Precedents, Queen of Panem and the Americas:worthy:

Yea, just figured it out.  Thanks man.

[K1stpierre]

I hope next weekend this can drop under 60% too. That would be amazing if it could do it.

[lilmac]

If both can gross over $30m next weekend, I would be happy.  

[filmscholar]

Last week before the numbers came out a lot of people were saying 400 was dead for CF, but if you look at it's thanksgiving performance it's pacing better than HG so to me it will outgross the original if he has some decent holds.  Thor 2 isn't doing that great domestically IMO but overseas made up the gap.   The best man holiday is still chugging alone.  Overall good holiday post weekend numbers.  

[Killimano3]

I'm happy that CF will break the 400m rule but I also feel like it'll make everyone predict 400m sequels to increase over their predecessor lol

[kitik]

If both can gross over $30m next weekend, I would be happy.  

 

 

I'm thinking Frozen will be over 35 next weekend

[Lumos]

Congratulations Catching Fire for breaking the Thanksgiving record!

 

Although, at this point I think Sorcerer's Stone deserves a bit of recognition.  It held this record for......wait for it.............12 YEARS!!! Longer than Titanic's stay at #1 as the highest grossing movie of all time....which felt like an eternity.  Crazy how a film from so long ago still held a record like this.  Surely when it broke the record back in 2001, very few people thought it would still have the record all the way into 2012.
