One of the strangest was how there was this film called "The Straight Story" that says it ended its run in April 2000. Odd part-I remember it playing in October 2000! 6 months after that!

If that's the case then it would have been playing for a whole year straight (no pun intended). That's impossible.

What are you talking about? I see everything in the top 15 except The Sitter increasing.

I'm talking about comparing the NY 4-day wknd to Christmas 4-day wknd. Just look at the top 5

2011-2 NY X Mas %Chng

MI4 38.3 44.1 -13.2%

SH2 26.5 31.9 -17%

AC3 21.0 19.5 +7.7%

WH 19.2 14.5 +32.4% (opens Dec. 25)

TGWTDG 19.0 19.4 -2.1%

Overall gross 195.4 196.9 -0.8%

2005-6 NY X Mas %Chng

Narnia 33.7 31.7 +3.1%

King Kong 31.8 33.3 -4.5%

FWD&J 21.0 21.5 -4.7%

CBTD2 18.9 15.3 +23.5%

Rumor Has It 11.8 7.5 +57.3% (opens Dec. 25)

Overall gross 193.9 176.4 +9.9%

Just the fact that the est. overall gross of this year is almost equal to what it was 6 years ago is already alarrming.

This may look better as the actuals come in. For the movies with actuals up on boxoffice.com as of now, it looks like Monday was generally underestimated. For instance, Alvin 3 actually increased 11.8% on Monday and was only projected to increase 3.3%. WBaZ had a projected 14.3% decrease, but instead dropped just 3.1%.

ETA:

I may have spoken too soon, The Sitter apparently had a terrible drop on Monday -- nearly 30%. I'm hoping that's an isolated case. The Darkest Hour also had a bad drop, but it was expected to and, in fact, didn't drop nearly as much as projected -- its Monday number was higher than estimated even though it's Sunday number was a fair bit lower than estimated.
