All hail Queen Elsa

[K1stpierre]

CF's number is great, but Frozen's is just exceptional. CF would probably be the talk here, but it's being over-shadowed by frozen.

10 5 The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Lionsgate 2,315 -634 -21.5%

 

Not a bad theater count drop about 700 more theaters than the Twilight movies at the same point.

[Impact]

Few sold out showings for Hobbit, nothing else has any sellouts.

Well we are having a white Christmas

[Wadey Wilsoney]

Well, presents were somewhat underwhelming. Got a T-shirt, three boxes of chocolates, an envelope with a bit of cash, and a brand of deodorant I don't use.So I've grabbed my tin cup and am now out begging for "likes"*singing* "Nobooody knows the trouble I've seen..."

[junkshop36]

Please don't. There are so many better movies to watch on Christmas Eve.

LOLGood or bad I've been waiting to see it so I'm gonna check it out. I can watch Christmas themed movies tomorrow since I'll be here most of the day any way.

[Jack Nevada]

Hey, it's not so bad. Chocolates are good, right? Shirt too, put that shit on and go to town. Deodorant, that's gonna make you smell real nice and well, money can be exchanged for goods and services.

AM2 5.79m

One of the harsher drops of wide releases

Me too. Take me on a date.

Sure, though none of that kissing and stuff.

[Mango]

So do we have any theater counts for the holdovers starting tomorrow?

[Jack Nevada]

Merry Christmas to you too, Rth. After all we are celebrating your birth, aren't we?

The shirt was an After Earth promo shirt my brother-in-law won in a newspaper competition six months ago. He thinks I don't know about it but I do, so to make him happy I'm probably going to have to wear Will Smith's stern face on my chest for the next week or so. And the deodorant smells like cat pee.But the cash helps. Might go see Frozen again, which I loved

Errrr.. maybe it could work as an ironic hipster fashion statement?

Or a woman repellent. Or a repellent of any person blessed with the gift of sight

Big expansion for Mandela. Not worth it. 

 

A. It's not getting Oscars despite what Harvey thinks

B. It's not going to get any money either. 

[Mango]

Frozen stays well above 3,000 and Catching Fire well above 2,000. That's all I care about. Bring on the $300 million Frozen and $400 million CF.

[Wadey Wilsoney]

Ouch for Thor.
