[tracygee]

I'm assuming The Muppets just isn't reporting yet, not that they're out of the top seven, right?

[SchumacherFTW]

Ahh Three Musketeers, how you deserved better as you were a stupidly entertaining romp that put Pirates 4 to shame.

[CJohn]

That is a disaster for NYE. Terrible, terrible weekend.

[Shawn Robbins]

Disney is notoriously late when it comes to reporting sometimes.

[Taylor]

BOM is up.

Down down down....What a drepressing weekend

[Noctis]

No more $290m for BD1. It had the worst drop in the top 20.

[rcalcagn]

...*sigh*Least next December will be much more entertaining.

[reddevil18]

Pathetic.

[fmpro]

...*sigh*Least next December will be much more entertaining.

The best of dec is yet to come

[American Eagle]

How did Courageous jump from $95,000 to $193,760 with actuals? >_>

[DAR]

Well at least the three family films had decent drops

[Ariadne]

Terrible for pretty much everything. After consistently gaining on New Moon, BD1 for some reason had a worse 4th weekend.At least Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy had an amazing opening.

[Ball Lightning]

Good for TTSS and muppets!! Everything else was not good..

[spizzer]

Sunday wasthe first time in nearly 3 weeks that BD1's cumulative total as a percentage of its opening day rose at a lower rate than New Moon's. Should be just around $1 million today, could be below or above. Following New Moon from here on out, it should hit $287.3 million

[SchumacherFTW]

So even with its nigh on tank status, NYE still managed to have an effect on BD1.

[spizzer]

Yeah, it definitely affected it to some extent. Based on last weekend's growth, BD1 was tracking for $9.7 million after Thursday.

[Noctis]

I'm glad it's not going to beat DH1. Yay.

[sharpie]

I'm glad it's not going to beat DH1. Yay.

Well it isn't really a fair comparison for DH1 anyway. 4th movie vs. 7th* movie. 3 years vs. 9 years. Edited December 13, 2011 by sharpie
