That's not it's opening weekend. That's two weeks including weekdays. It has staggered release dates. That's the cume since Aug 5th, I think when it first opened in the Philippines.

It needs to have a big overseas to get that sequel. Though I don't know how much Portugal can contribute to the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the smaller ones that add those 1-2 mill grosses that help shape the total. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
