Early Friday Numbers: New Years Eve - 5M / The Sitter - 3.75M / Breaking Dawn P1 - 2.5M

no idea why Paramount did not do it.

Because of Sherlock. The studio would rather compete with its second week than its first, because they know Holmes is the higher 9rofile film.

Wow, NYE number keeps going lower every time I look. I assume the latest number (5.08) is the Fri. actual? Just plain bad.

Anyone have a budget estimate for NYE? I assume it would at least be as big as Valentine's Day, and probably larger.

I also see my long wait is over and The Help finally passed Bridesmaids domestic total. That was a fun neck and neck race from start to finish to watch. For me it was the best match up to follow all year.

#11 - The Help- $169,118,300

#12 - Bridesmaids- $169,106,725

The budget I heard was 58 million

NYE?

Someone edit this thread. BD1 made 2.5m not 2.4 according to studio estimates from BOM.

[baumer]

According to boxoffice.com, NYE's budget was only 28 mill. I don't see how that is possible. Did every actor in the movie do it for $200,000?

[tawasal]

baumer I can't wait for your summer game in here and I am hoping BKB plays and puts up some real and not so insane predictions in the game. If he does play.

[baumer]

I for some reason, doubt he will play Tawasal. But yes, I'm kind of missing it right now too.

What. A new number?.. Its getting lower and lower...Maybe most of the actors are getting paid from profit

[ecstasy]

LOL I guess everybody is saving up for Sherlock, Alvin and MI4.

And with this system/software it will be damn easy to run and help you this time around.

This time money is on the table and he won't risk taking the bold aproach.

[MovieGuyKyle16]

I dont think anyone has an idea how much the budget was but 28m does not sound right

Agree... Sounds way way way to low...

He would put 600m for Avengers and if it comes through, we will just give him the whole game and call him the winner and all his other failures won't count.
