I saw Young Adult today. It was a pretty good film.

[TLK]

Good hold for SH2 but Nikki overestimated its Friday numbers so we may have to wait for the official estimates.

[kayumanggi]

So 10 M Sunday?

[spizzer]

I think Sunday could be higher, around $12 million, but that's a pretty strong Saturday hold, so it could drop harder

[Magic]

They will probably drop again like they did yesterday...

Bottom 5 didn't include Saturday estimates, so I didn't post them

[fmpro]

Damn.. 40 mill looks hard now..Could miss the mark..Very very happy MI4

[Ariadne]

Great for MI4 - absolutely terrible for everything else.

[reddevil18]

This is fucking depressing...

[spizzer]

With MI4's IMAX-only release, I'd expect a relatively soft Sunday drop. This could edge closer to $14 million IMO. This is just a guess however, there's really no precedent for a release like this

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Nikki still has MI4 Fri. at 4.7, while BOM has it at 4.1m?

[Kevin Bacon]

If everything performed terribly from here on out and MI4 and Dragon Tattoo broke out, I'd be satisfied.

[Cedarpoint1111]

I was hoping for 17-18m for SH.... I guess any increase is better then nothing, but damn, how dreadful.

[Fake]

How did Alvin gross 10M????WTF!!

[Fake]

Decent for SH2 and MI4.

[Fake]

Nikki still has MI4 Fri. at 4.7, while BOM has it at 4.1m?

Wasn't 4.7M the official estimate? I am confused.

[Cedarpoint1111]

Alvin will be lucky to make 125 now.....And we were all looking so forward to this weekend

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Wasn't 4.7M the official estimate? I am confused.

BOM says 4.1m for Sat.http://boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?sortdate=2011-12-16&p=.htm
