decent for Divergent. Laughable for Muppets.

[Empire]

Sucks that Muppet's # is so low. 

 

Good for Divergent though.

124.2m for the top 10, last year 127.2m.

[John Marston]

will Divergent be as frontloaded as Twilight?

[BadAtGender]

Ouch for Muppets. Really, nothing super impressive this weekend besides Divergent and God's Not Dead.

[CloneWars]

will Divergent be as frontloaded as Twilight?

No.

[lab276]

And I thought The Muppets in 2011 was disappointing.

[Spidey Freak]

Muppets is not really a cinematic franchise. I don't see why they keep trying instead of solely focusing on brilliant content for television. 

[MovieMan89]

Ugh, I knew Muppets was only gonna open to 15m-ish. As others have said, at least the movies are cheap.

[mcclaine]

I'm still having hope for Divergent to get to 55M, which will be great.
If it does that, it would be more than The Host, Beautful Creatures, Mortal Instruments and Ender's Games OW combined... LOL

2.8 for Friday is really impressive. I don't think more than a handful people were expecting it to hit that for the full weekend.

I think my sister has become a Frozenite.

It's a viral infection... everyone catches it eventually.

I'm not though because I'm a strong bitch. Y'all gonna pay though. You took my sister.

It's a viral infection... everyone catches it eventually.

Yup, everyone catches it like colds. But I don't think you should be bothered by it anyway.

[Spidey Freak]

It's a viral infection... everyone catches it eventually.

 

It's not an infection, it's transcendence. Poor lil lost souls like Claire and Empire will eventually find their way to us too. 

 

We will make them.
