AUJ dropped 56.4% in its 2nd weekend. 32m for DOS is about a 56.55% drop, so essentially mirroring AUJ. Hopefully it jumps a couple million.

Friday Box Office, contd: 'Frozen' $18M wkd, 'Saving Mr Banks' $13M wkd, 'Walking With Dinosaurs' $9.5M wkd. Updates later.

Nikki is so shitty when her multipliers I'm not taking any of this to heart.

[CoolioD1]

25 million for anchorman?!?

 

[MrPink]

Really hoping the Hustle number is true. 23 million would lock 100 million with ease.

[AdamKendall]

Wow, if it's true, 25 would be absolute shit for Anchorman.

[MrPink]

25 million for anchorman?!?

Grudge Match will save this December as well as Wolf on Wall Street.

Haha I wouldn't believe any of this. I wish she would tell us Friday estimates instead of a weekend estimate. 

[Plain Old Tele]

Nikki's multipliers are idiotic, usually, but since she and THR are posting similar numbers, they can't be too far off.

[grim22]

Good that we have weekend estimates. Now if only those Friday numbers would show up 

[kayumanggi]

We have weekend numbers before Friday numbers. lol

25m for Anchorman 2: Commence Headline "Anchors (and Bombs) Away"

Edited December 21, 2013 by 4815162342

[Biggestgeekever]

Anything above $30m was optimistic for Anchorman 2 after Wednesday and Thursday. 

[Impact]

Well I said 25M a few weeks ago and was told I was going to low

[Fancyarcher]

Anchorman 2 is still likely going to outgross Anchorman 1.

 

Besides these are early numbers. Could be less, could be more, once final estimates come in.

On the other hand, American Hustle and Frozen.

*pops head in briefly*

 

Hearing from a new source something around $7.5-8m for Anch2 today. Very early and unproven reliability though. Late business could pick up.
