Is that good for MI4

Absolutely.

[Gopher]

MI4 in 425 theaters opens to as much as New Year's Eve in 3500 theaters. Hah.

Good observation.

[CJohn]

It will be even better if MI4 ends up breaking out when it opens wide next Wednesday.

I'd still like to see Chipwrecked. I heard that after they get stranded on the island, they run out of coconuts and have to kill Theodore for meat.

[Hallowed Prince]

Not very good for Sherlock Holmes. I thought it would do a lot better than 40.02 million. I'm happy that Alvin 3 disappointed. It will have strong holiday legs though most likely unless Tintin breaks out, but $150 million at this point is unlikely. Great number for MI4. It will likely win Christmas weekend.

Audiences accepted MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE--GHOST PROTOCOL as it debuted in third with $13 mil in just 425 IMAX locations--$30,588 per!!! #cruisecontrol

Excellent. If anything can save this winter's BO now I think it's that film.

Means GWTDT underperforms? YES!

Means GWTDT underperforms? YES!

Hell no. That would make MI4 only a fluke.

[CJohn]

If GWTDT does 100M DOM total, it will be already a good result.

It looks like we have an under 200m December. MI4 is the last hope.

The girl will do fine..

But it could do it Dex..

But not better than fine. :PBTW, has there ever been a movie with more obnoxious leads? Craig is notoriously douchy but Maramania`s interviews and TV apperances seems to rub many people the wrong way including Maramaniacs. Apparently, the chick is a totally ignorant douche who thinks that school bullying of fat classmates is just a myth???? Edited December 18, 2011 by fishnets

I'm shocked at how poorly Carnage did with its $17,000 PSA.

[MovieGuyKyle16]

Sad about the Muppets not doing good. Happy to see Alvin and the crying david cross Chipmunks FAIL!!!

Mojo is uphttp://boxofficemojo.../weekend/chart/damn, look at those holdovers. Just bad. How the hell did Arthur Christmas drop that much before Christmas?!

BD is holding well I think. Sub 50% drop is good,no? How is it doing compared to NM in the same week?

[spizzer]

BD will end between $287-288 million. It's not holding much better than NM
