Just about everything seems to be coming in above estimates.

[kitik]

Muppets up a bit too:

 

 

1 Muppets Most Wanted $17,005,126 -- 3,194 -- $5,324

[kitik]

bit of a drop for Divergent:

 

 

1 Divergent $54,607,747

[John Marston]

Divergent was obviously going to drop as soon as it came in at a totally even number

[picores]

Good opening for Divergent. I wonder if Non Stop has enough gas to squeeze 100m.

[narniadis]

nearly 1.5m drop for Divergent.... ouch

[kitik]

 I wonder if Non Stop has enough gas to squeeze 100m.

 

 

I'm going say No.

Too much to ask from this point, especially with Cap opening in 10-11 days.

[RyneOh1040]

Very good result for Divergent and very impressive start for GND.  Growing up in the Bible Belt I know to never underestimate the church crowd showing up in droves.  Muppets is a disappointment but it's just a small blip on the Disney radar.  

 

Finally got around to starting Insurgent two nights ago and I think it will be superior to the first, based on the pacing alone.  However, I feel like the underdeveloped characters of Peter and Christina from this film are defintely going to limit its potential as a sequel.

[narniadis]

Non-stop looks to be another action flick that ends up at 90m but not much more....

 

GND had a great Sunday hold apparently.... unlike Son of God.....

yep, very small Sunday drop for GND:

So, Frozen came in at whopping $1,601 over estimates.

[Blankments]

Happy Muppets went up

Just a little closer to 400. Now hoping the weekly drops stabilize a little. Edited March 25, 2014 by WileECoyote

Can Lionsgate's stocks stomach that over prediction ?

Hey, if it goes down more just snap some up. You know the stock will go up as Mockingjay gets closer.

Lionsgate will be a kingdom without a Queen once Mockingjay is done.

Enjoy her while you can.

I'm wondering if they will expand God's Not Dead next week?  Obviously Noah might affect it, but it has great potential.

Nah!

 

It's one of those movies that doesn't necessarily have legs.
