A few more

BD1 $16,504,716

BD1 $16,504,716

Hmmm, so a wee lower than I expected, but still about a million better than New Moon did during this equivalent weekend.

Lower than I wanted, but still better than NM which is good.

[Gopher]

Does this mean Muppets made like 10m this weekend? Ugh.

[spizzer]

BD1 Weekend Breakdown:5.5m Friday6.8m (+23.9%) Saturday4.2m (-38.0%) Sunday16.5m WeekendSlightly weaker Saturday hold, but slightly stronger Sunday hold

Exact opposite of what I expected. Saturday increase was bigger but the Sunday drop was larger

[spizzer]

Something's off with boxoffice.com's dailies for BD1Friday $542,139 (which I took to mean $5,542,139)Saturday $7,080,431Sunday $4,002,895Which adds up to a total of $16,625,465, which is $90,000 more than what they have listed for the weekend totalI'm assuming that something is still off with that Friday number

I was off with my Sunday prediction of BD1. It had worse drop on Sunday compared to New Moon.

[CJohn]

Bad Sunday drop, but overall a good weekend for BD1.

[druv10]

Something's off with boxoffice.com's dailies for BD1 Friday $542,139 (which I took to mean $5,542,139) Saturday $7,080,431 Sunday $4,002,895 Which adds up to a total of $16,625,465, which is $90,000 more than what they have listed for the weekend total I'm assuming that something is still off with that Friday number

I think Friday number is 5,421,390 .

Looks to me like the problem isn't that they dropped a 5 at the beginning, but that they dropped one in the middle. A Friday of $5,452,139 makes the numbers add up right.

[spizzer]

Following New Moon's pace from here puts this at 285.9m.

If it continues to show growth on New Moon's holds, it could crack 290 and maybe come close to 295. However, its growth on New Moon's holds has been trending downwards, so it should end up between 287m and 290m

Possibly. Assuming the weekend actual is $16,535,465, it should be a bit higher

Sounds right

That is what I guessed it to be.

So it is 16,535,465. I guessed it ended an a 0 which is how I got my first number.

[druv10]

Okay Sunday number for BD1.

[Jlundegaard]

Well, I think we all need to accept the fact that The Muppets is not going to be a breakout hit.

[spizzer]

By my projections, BD1 should do $1.185 million today, though that's on the low side
