$94.4m 4 day for Fifty Shades according to Hollywood Reporter.

Nice one.

[The Futurist]

Sure, but I'm willing to bet that like EL James herself those women are confused about the differences between rape and domination.

Maybe some women were confused about the actual meaning of some scenes but they were fascinated either way.

The books sold tens of millions of copies around the world and I bet the male/ female breakdown was 1%/99%.

For whatever reason, 50 shades just like Twilight resonates in the female psyche.

KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE opened with an estimated $42.0M over the 4-day weekend. #Kingsman #TheSecretService

All the Kingsman raves on this page. Now I wanna watch it. 

[Mango]

Wonder if Kingsman will leg it out to over $100 million or if it will end up frontloaded.

I really, really want to see it ASAP!

 

Maybe next week? Hm…. 

[Jandrew]

So Jesus lost out to S&M afterall. Well I just like to see big openings, especially in these "off" months. Passions R record seems to live another year though, unless Marvel goes balls out and gives Avengers dat R.

[La Binoche]

IMO the real winner of the weekend is Dakota Johnson. She's the best and only good thing about 50 Shades. Weird that she's only 25 though. Some people age so early and so poorly. 

[K1stpierre]

Added the 3 4 days release numbers on page 1.

THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE: SPONGE OUT OF WATER surpassed the $100M mark after taking in an estimated $40.0M over the 4-day weekend. #SpongeBob

What? She looks great.

ANd ?

How many books with serial killers that describe for pages the torture they inflict on their victims ? To finally kill them.

Also, do you know about psychoanalysis ? What is the first fantasy women talk about when asked ?

Rape is number one.

I am not making this up.

But Christian Grey isn't the bad guy or the serial killer, he's the love interest.

 Do go and watch it, it's really good. That church scene alone will give you all kind of feels. 

[Heat Vision]

SB is on its 2nd weekend.....

[Mango]

Also props to Eastwood/Cooper/WB on American Sniper crossing $300 million this weekend. Hopefully it can leg it out to $350 million. Unless it just falls off a cliff though it will beat Mockingjay at the least.
