I really hope The Lego Movie wipes the floor with that film

[23IsEverywhere]

Nut Job... 5.3m...

[lab276]

I wanna know about Frozen.

[John Marston]

I thought Jack Ryan was making a potential 8.5m? That should put it above Lone Survivor and Nut Job

[druv10]

Who is still feeding Nikki with numbers ?

 

Nope. African-American comedy usually doesnt have strong legs.

 

It should still be first 100M grosser of the year.

You expect accuracy from Nikki?

I hope they showed a Frozen trailer first before showing Nymphomaniac.

My screening was actually quite mixed. Ride Along will NOT be frontloaded. Not with what ive seen today. Whites and Latinos apparently are pretty fond as well. Edited January 18, 2014 by Jandrew

Teens mistakenly went to that movie thinking it was a porno, and left disappointed after the movie ended.

I wanna know about Frozen.

 

Hopefully that juggernaut known as Nut Job won't hurt it too bad.  Based on Nikki numbers there are already 1/2 million people that likely have sworn off ever going to a movie again.
