RySenkari Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 It's time for actuals for Year 1 of CAYOM 2.0! Today will be January-March, tomorrow will be April-June, Wednesday will be July-September and Thursday will be October-December. Actuals are for the most part final. HOWEVER, if you have a major problem and think I really screwed your film, and you can make a good case, I might might MIGHT consider bumping up your film. You've gotta make a really good case though and there has to be some agreement from fellow CAYOMers that I messed up bad. Anyone else can take it up with Aislyn Turner, Secretary of Complaints... January coming right up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RySenkari Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 January 7-9: "True Grit" Captures Lead True Grit claimed the top spot, ending the reign of Little Fockers over a quiet start to 2011, while new nationwide releases Country Strong (expanding from limited release) and The Nine Tailors posted modest results. Overall business was off a precipitous 32 percent from the same weekend last year, when Avatar led. True Grit: 14,605,135 Little Fockers: 13,487,245 Tron Legacy: 10,090,002 Black Swan: 8,113,011 Country Strong: 7,326,165 The Fighter: 7,001,504 Yogi Bear: 6,641,250 The King's Speech: 6,414,407 The Nine Tailors: 5,885,600 Tangled: 5,111,098 January 14-16: "Illusiono" Bursts Into Focus Illusiono grabbed the top spot over Martin Luther King Day weekend, dominating the box office to the tune of $46 million. True Grit, The King's Speech, and Black Swan all had outstanding holds, while thriller The Phone Fiend opened at a modest #6, unable to blast its way past Little Fockers to get into the top five. Illusiono: 38,521,447 True Grit: 11,004,755 The King's Speech: 9,186,203 Black Swan: 8,342,648 Little Fockers: 7,194,865 Phone Fiend: 6,831,439 Tron Legacy: 5,679,858 Yogi Bear: 5,365,547 The Fighter: 5,101,140 The Nine Tailors: 4,132,458 Illusiono: 46,748,215 True Grit: 13,127,459 The King's Speech: 11,271,166 Black Swan: 10,151,762 Little Fockers: 8,535,495 Phone Fiend: 8,099,482 Yogi Bear: 7,447,344 Tron Legacy: 7,258,954 The Fighter: 6,382,097 Tangled: 5,638,656 The Nine Tailors: 5,428,317 January 21-23: "Illusiono" Knocks Out "Hills", "Girl" Superhero hit Illusiono held onto the top spot this week, fending off a double challenge from openers The Hills Abduction and You Got Beat By A Girl. The film continues to do well with audiences and posted a sub-50% drop, excellent for a film of its type. The Hills Abduction did as expected, while You Got Beat By A Girl was a bit of a disappointment, finishing 2-3 million below studio projections. Both openers were good enough to beat out the other holdovers, led by The King's Speech which finished fourth. Illusiono: 21,437,210 The Hills Abduction: 15,531,679 You Just Got Beat By A Girl: 11,653,127 The King's Speech: 7,854,910 True Grit: 7,330,092 Black Swan: 5,869,744 Spider-Baby: 4,664,203 Little Fockers: 4,320,090 The Fighter: 4,164,504 Yogi Bear: 3,819,395 January 28-30: "Everglades" Swamps Box Office It wasn't a three-peat for Illusiono as thriller Everglades easily took this week's box office crown with an impressive $23 million. Critics were mixed about the film but audiences weren't, packing in crowds and helping the film meet studio expectations. Illusiono stayed in the top two, holding off both a big theater bump from The King's Speech and the weekend's other wide opener, Ready, Aim, FIRE! Everglades: 23,218,670 Illusiono: 13,059,883 The King's Speech: 11,064,781 Ready, Aim, FIRE!: 10,640,752 True Grit: 7,518,265 The Hills Abduction: 7,142,334 You Just Got Beat By A Girl: 5,996,317 Black Swan: 5,118,269 The Fighter: 3,960,280 Yogi Bear: 3,167,440 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RySenkari Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 February 4-6: "Seduction" Drowns "Everglades" The thriller Seduction posted a surprisingly strong weekend with $20 million, nearly doubling studio expectations. The weekend's other thriller opener, Teratoma, ended up with a terminal case of box-office woes, opening with $6.7 million and missing the top three. Everglades bled 60% in its second frame, falling to a distant second. Seduction: 20,385,664 Everglades: 9,674,215 The King's Speech: 7,712,353 Teratoma: 6,754,211 Illusiono: 6,684,148 Ready, Aim, FIRE!: 4,732,185 True Grit: 4,640,139 You Just Got Beat By A Girl: 3,905,217 The Hills Abduction: 3,553,444 Black Swan: 3,373,851 February 11-13: "Vendetta" Leads Ho-Hum Valentine's Day Three films opening over Valentine's Day weekend was a recipe for competition, but it was Valentine's Day Vendetta winning out as expected with $17 million, running Seduction out of the top spot and kicking it to fourth. Disco Dan couldn't dance up a win but it did finish with a decent $15 million frame, while Ghost Story finishes with a respectable $11.7 million. Valentine's Day Vendetta: 17,261,885 Disco Dan: 14,926,770 Ghost Story: 11,669,735 Seduction: 7,545,116 The King's Speech: 7,230,790 Everglades: 5,356,843 Illusiono: 4,429,806 True Grit: 3,785,344 You Just Got Beat By A Girl: 2,885,326 Teratoma: 2,463,176 February 18-21: "Werewolf" Wins President's Day Showdown A hotly contested four-day weekend saw Stephen King adaptation "Cycle of the Werewolf" rip into first place with an impressive $38 million bow. The victory comes over the weekend's other major release, the crime thriller "Corporate Secrets", which did well for itself, garnering $27 million. The two films easily crushed the competition, led by Disco Dan which grabbed $10 million over the frame, good for third. Cycle Of The Werewolf: 31,568,740 Corporate Secrets: 22,061,524 Disco Dan: 8,745,213 Ghost Story: 7,331,546 The King's Speech: 6,529,530 Valentine's Day Vendetta: 4,658,194 Seduction: 3,654,118 Everglades: 3,594,882 Illusiono: 3,152,188 True Grit: 2,410,521 Cycle Of The Werewolf: 38,554,612 Corporate Secrets: 27,473,166 Disco Dan: 10,538,216 Ghost Story: 8,823,567 The King's Speech: 8,063,897 Valentine's Day Vendetta: 5,374,331 Everglades: 4,328,436 Seduction: 4,245,620 Illusiono: 3,877,325 True Grit:2,885,736 February 25-27: "Siri" Enchants Crowds Animated opener "Siri" was easily the top film of the weekend, posting the year's first $40 million 3-day opening with a strong $40.7 million tally. The first true family film since You Just Got Beat By A Girl, the film played to families starved for something to see, and good reviews helped bring in the crowds. The other wide opener, Just For Cash, played to much more modest crowds, scoring $8.5 million, behind last weekend's holdovers. Siri: 40,768,433 Cycle Of The Werewolf: 16,588,215 Corporate Secrets: 13,996,548 Just For Cash: 8,496,331 The King's Speech: 7,339,759 Disco Dan: 6,554,216 Ghost Story: 4,817,650 Beast Of Bray Road: 2,751,634 Everglades: 2,593,264 Valentine's Day Vendetta: 2,396,778 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RySenkari Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) March 4-6: "Storms" Conquers "Universe" In a mild box-office upset, the epic action film Land of Storms beat out animated sci-fi The End Of The Universe to take #1 at the weekend box office. End of the Universe was pushed hard and the studio was hoping for a $40 million opening, but the film finished consistent with tracking and animated sci-fi is typically a hard sell. Despite amazing word of mouth and an A+ Cinemascore, the film failed to take #1. End of the Universe' performance recalls memories of The Iron Giant, a film considered to be one of the greatest animated films of all time, but which foundered at the box office. Land Of Storms: 32,776,750 The End Of The Universe: 28,336,785 Siri: 21,614,896 Cycle Of The Werewolf: 9,554,117 Corporate Secrets: 8,394,815 The King's Speech: 6,230,227 Beast Of Bray Road: 5,863,211 Just For Cash: 4,714,684 Disco Dan: 3,976,004 Ghost Story: 3,216,578 March 11-13: "Universe" Ascendant: Despite two widely-anticipated films opening this weekend, the story of the weekend and of the year so far is of the incredible resurrection of The End Of The Universe. Even portended by the film's first-weekend dailies ($8.1 million Friday, 11.5 million Saturday, 8.8 million Sunday) and the very strong weekday holds, no one could have anticipated that the film would both gain significantly over its first weekend total and win the weekend. Its $34 million second weekend tally puts it ahead of Barren World and the disappointing God's Deal, which fell to Earth with a very mortal $25 million. The End Of The Universe: 34,463,745 Barren World: 32,668,400 God's Deal: 25,263,313 Siri: 13,274,826 Land Of Storms: 11,137,587 Cycle Of The Werewolf: 5,794,217 Corporate Secrets: 5,056,366 The King's Speech: 3,573,112 Beast Of Bray Road: 3,475,223 Just For Cash: 3,190,480 March 18-20: "Universe" Goes On The End Of The Universe continued its reign at the top, posting a modest sub-25% drop and landing at $27.2 million, beating out the opener Night of Error, which scored $22.6 million over the three day after a decent $32 million 5-day opening. "Barren World" also dropped modestly due to great reviews and word of mouth, while "God's Deal" continues its disappointing run, falling to fifth. The End Of The Universe: 27,184,993 Night Of Error: 22,625,314/32,764,214 Barren World: 19,716,312 Our Friend The Witch: 12,883,167 God's Deal: 8,863,570 Siri: 8,125,327 Land Of Storms: 5,017,668 Cycle Of The Werewolf: 4,246,758 Corporate Secrets: 3,558,795 Beast Of Bray Road: 3,016,426 March 25-27: "Adventurers" A Hit There's another animated hit out there as The Adventurers beats down The End Of The Universe for the year's biggest opening to date. Opening in more than 3,700 theaters, the film got mixed reviews from critics but audiences gave the film an A- on Cinemascore, with families especially loving it. The film's big opening barely dented The End Of The Universe, knocking it back to #2 with another small drop. Lucky In Love was a close third, besting Night Of Error and Barren World. The Adventures: 47,065,333 The End Of The Universe: 21,375,404 Lucky In Love: 14,584,502 Night Of Error: 13,886,753 Barren World: 13,415,618 Our Friend The Witch: 5,754,315 Siri: 4,076,332 God's Deal: 3,816,485 Cycle Of The Werewolf: 2,885,421 Land Of Storms: 2,624,673 Edited December 19, 2011 by RySenkari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RySenkari Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Far better word of mouth than any animated sci-fi film ever, what happened that second weekend was people realizing how good a film they were missing out on and deciding to take a chance on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
