Holy crap! 15.7m!

 

Say what you will, but Frozen numbers never cease to be interesting. From that 1.2 mil adjust down last weekend to the 1.7 mil rise in estimates this weekend, it keeps people guessing.

[Mango]

This sort of reminds me of Frozen's second weekend when after it's Friday number it looked like it would do $28-29 million tops for the weekend but ended up with $31 million. I guess it shows never to underestimate family movies on Saturday.

 

Also Lone Survivor is an early winter beast. We'll see how it's legs hold up, but everyone I know who has seen it loved it. I think it could end up with over $125 million in the long run.

Good number, I think.

Short Term 12 was amazing.

[CJohn]

LOL at Universal. Just LOL. Lone Survivor would have never existed if Peter Berg didn't agreed to do Battleship. This is too funny to be true.

[Incarnadine]

D'oh! I read 15.07 as 15.7.   Still, up a million from earlier estimates.

FROZEN took in an estimated $15.07M this weekend. Domestic total now stands at $317.66M. #Frozen

 

 

Holy crap.

Short Term 12 was amazing.

Definitely top 3 of last year. And last year was so good!

[tawasal]

Someone help me, what the fuck is up with Blue Jasmine's ending? The worst I have ever seen, I am in shock.

[The Stingray]

Anyone seen that The Thing-esque show Helix? Is it good?

I was surprised by his quality, considering it is from Syfy. I have already seen the first 3 episodes and liked it. The potential is huge. Check the thread in the TV Shows forum.

The ending is what makes the movie! It's fucking harsh though, I'll give you that.

[CJohn]

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: THE MARKED ONES went *thump* in the night, dropping -66% w/ $6.3M, $28M total.

But it's not what you would expect at all and I didn't even feel the movie was 1 hour 35 minutes,  I thought it was midway. The movie is good though and Cate is awesome, but what the fuck I didn't see that coming.

That's actually a pretty good hold considering how much the other horror early January films dropped.

[druv10]

Holy crap.

 

Tangled had a 4.89 multiplier from this weekend and same gets Frozen to 391M+. Remember it held much better than Tangled this weekend so 400M is in picture.   

[Incarnadine]

Just watched the 2 hour pilot. I thought it was good, but unless it surprises me I can see it running into a creative wall in a few episodes.

[CoolioD1]

She had already hit rock bottom and she had pretty much already ruined every possible way for her to climb back up. I don't see where else you could go with it, unless you wanted to make it really dark, which I couldn't see Allen doing.
