One of the Oscar contenders: very likely

Which one?Last year no Oscar Best Film Pics were blockbusters really.

Ted should beat THG IMO or at least come close.

Hope so. I feel Ted can squeeze into the 2012 Top 10 OS list for sure.

Assuming Hobbit Skyfall and BD2 make it in easily, the fight should be for the 10th place between Titanic 3D, Hunger Games (Japan left to open), RE5, Wreck-It Ralph and Rise Of The Guardians. If I had to guess from those, I would say ROTG would do it.

ROTG should do very well.Even if not, another animated film should get onto the list.

ParaNorman had a huge push from our distributor. They were expectting much better. The Watch was released in a big number of screens, but our distributor didn't spent much on advertising so they weren't expecting a good result.

Why does THR continue to say that TDKR ruled the box office for the last 7 weeks? It didn't win last week or the week before.

Actually that's screen daily. The writer's name is Jeremy Kay. I have been tempted to write him. He is really terrible.

No breakdown for Bourne. Screen Daily is really falling off with their reporting. They used to report from high to low. Now everything is all mixed up.

It's better than nothing I guess.

it really looks like they are just making up some stuff as they go along lol. did Nikki buy screen daily? Haha

Haha LMAO :lol:I think they're trying to do it studio by studio. But it makes a mish mash of things. And to report that TDKR ruled the foreign box for 7 weekends straight is criminal. It's understandable that you don't have the numbers for EX2 but it's not like you didn't know it's been #1 overseas for the longest. SMH.

That's not even close for The Expendables. It's way wrong.

Isn't Rentrak the source for all of our Overseas numbers (EDIT: At least on Sundays)? Perhaps the Expendables numbers are wrong for the same reason we never have them in the Sunday OS reports. They don't seem to track every distributor releasing the film overseas. Edited by kswiston

BOM seems to be tracking Expendables 2 OS properly.Up to $158.4M last weekend.
