It's in 400 theaters next weekend. Goes wide the 21st.

Ah, ok that makes sense now.

That's a remarkable hold for BD1 if true.

Question: How are there guests viewing this thread? I thought it was a restricted board?

BD1 will end up getting raped next week. Finally, it's insane the minimal competition it has had so far.

It will still beat DH1

Also that's pretty disappointing for Hugo, I thought it would increase from last week.

That's less likely than not.

Fox should have opened We Bought a Zoo this weekend. The Sitter could have opened to nothing at any time of the year. This is a movie that will supposedly have great WOM and needs some going into the holidays if it wants to compete with the big movies.I'm sure a lot of people will complain that studios should have put so and so movie this weekend, but Zoo makes the most sense to me.

Fox is actually do another Screening on Saturday for We Bought a Zoo,

One of the Christmas movies really would've done better to have opened on this weekend. Mission Impossible or We Bought A Zoo comes to mind...

Next weekend won't be as huge as people expect it to be. SH will only do mid 50s IMO, Alvin mid 30s. The week after should be huge however, MI4, GWTDT and Tintin can all do over 40m.

Great number for BD1. It continues to gain on New Moon and has a legitmate shot at taking down NM/DH1.

[rcalcagn]

To be the devil's advocate for New Year's Eve...it's a film that'll play over the weekend because it's really the ONLY romantic option for the holidays. And when your film's called New Year's Eve, I imagine New Line's going to push it heavily the closer we get to that date. A $80M+ total is likely in spite of reviews.At this rate I'm seeing Hugo pushing itself past $60M, Arthur Christmas barely past $50M, and Muppets managing itself to $100M; at least, I really really hope so. If Alvin 3 shows any sign of weakness, that'll only help the other films.

$290 is locked now. This will have the best multiplier since the first film

[Fake]

$10M weekend will give BD1 a great shot at passing NM, but I think that number will go down a bit.

I knew this would underperform

Your club is still going to fail.

The New Years Eve Under $40 Mil club will succeed!!!

I hate how BOM keeps saying there is a "wide expansion" for The Descendants, and it's like 200 more theaters than last week.
