Is the weather going to stop on Sunday?

So, Nebraska is pretty great. One of the finest acting ensembles this year, and Will Forte was a surprising standout even among Dern and Squibb. The script is warm and hilarious, and although there are a few pacing issues and side plots that could have used more depth or even omission from the film, I still really liked it, and WOM seemed rather positive from my screening.

 

Would recommend.

Eliminate the side plots and you have one of the best films of the year, imo.

More or less, yes. New England and far east EC is getting the snow but it should clear up by afternoon but then you've Sunday football so we'll see how close 27% drop WB is projecting comes.

Tyler Perry suffered his worst Madea debut of all-time, as A MEDEA CHRISTMAS delivered just $16.1M.

If Smaug/Madea went up a bit, I hope Frozen does too.

For a huge action epic like THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG, it's a bit surprising that 3D represented just 49% of the opening gross.

@ERCboxoffice The BF, big LOTR fan, fell asleep during The Hobbit so no rush this pass to catch sequel although heard Smaug is better.

@MonaLiNYC Smaug is action-packed...if he falls asleep at that one...have him tested for narcolepsy.

RTH did say the Friday gross would be a bit higher, maybe they shifted a bit of the gross to Saturday
