So it's gonna be a blood bath between ITW and Unbroken for #1 over the weekend?

I want those things to slay the 50M until Sunday.

Just imagine if The Interview had opened as a wide release this weekend as originally planned. Lawd.

Seems that Unbroken did particularly well in Rural/Heartland/South areas, while Into The Woods did the opposite.

WILD took in an estimated $1.66M on Thursday. Domestic total stands at $10.95M. #Wild

Last year earned something on the order of ~500m total from the 25th to the 31st. The two biggest movies in that span were Frozen and DOS. Wolf of Wall Street was the biggest Christmas Day opener.

 

It seems like this year should be bigger than that. It won't be enough to catch up with last year, but it could close the gap some.

I think Unbroken benefitted from a lack of competition more than anything else. Those who had no desire to see The Hobbit or a family or musical film (Into the Woods, Annie, Night at the Museum) pretty much flocked to it en masse.

My God!

Not shocking. LM is probably one of the most well known plays in history. They used to have ads on the back of every London bus for a decade.

TH3 had constantly better drops and increases than ROTK. ROTK increased 37% from Thursday (Christmas) to Friday. If TH does the same it would make 18M, way over the 16.5M first friday. Even if it doesn't increase that much, it should hardly fall from it's 3 day OW. I'd say it is well into the run for No. 1.

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't this also fantastic for NATM coming off a sub 3M Thursday? How possible is it that we see a sizeable jump this weekend?
