Crazy Friday! The Vow and Safe House #'s are really, really impressive and how could they be so off with TPM, last nights est started at like $13m?? Anyway, the great box office run of 2012 continues and that's great to see.

Does he make you wear the RIng?

He has the ring in a dark hidden room. Nobody can talk about it. He wants to forget about is existance :lol:The first time I made a joke about GL he made me use the ring. I never talked about GL again. Edited February 11, 2012 by CJohn

Wow!Should be a monster weekend.

From THR

"The Vow earned $15.4 million Friday, followed by Safe House with $13.8 million. Many box office observers believe Safe House will begin to close the gap on Saturday, since The Vow could be more front loaded.

One advantage Safe House has -- an A- CinemaScore, versus a B CinemaScore for The Vow. Also, Safe House is playing much more evenly than expected among the genders, with females making up 48 percent of Friday night’s audience. Females made up a whopping 74 percent of The Vow’s audience.

In terms of age, Safe House is skewing older, however, with 81 percent of Friday night’s audience over the age of 25, compared to 55 percent for The Vow."

Should see some large increases today. As someone posted earlier, 2 30M+ openers and 4 20M+ openers at this time of the year is fantastic

[Neo]

Both on track for 38M.http://www.thewrap.c...n-weekend-35274Just imagine what 2 Guns can do.

Happy about Safe House number. Denzel is brilliant, although I wish he stretched himself a bit

Getting (half) dragged to Vow as we speak. Theater is busy.

Are you on a date?

So the lowest estimated film at #10 has $2.2m if I read that right in the OP.

Underworld Awakening just drops out of the Top 10? I know it had a 900 theater loss and all but it was Top 5 for three weeks and it just totally drops off? I was thinking it would finish at worst in the 10th slot at best 9.

I await the finals, I'm thinking UA shows back up at #10.

Good for the 3 $30m openers provided that all holds as well.

UA had a poor Friday increase so I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up below the top 10.

It will have lost the lions share of it's 3D screens this weekend, and i'm betting all but a handful IMAX screens too. That's what probably did it.

It'll be two 30 mill openers. SW should do about 25.

[John Marston]

I'm also curious how Chronicle is holding up

Me too. I hope it jumps on Saturday nicely. It isn't falling as bad as Kick-Ass which is a positive sign. It has to hold next weekend too.

I don't think it'll be that frontloaded; a good amount of the audience is likely families so it should be able to have a 3.0 multiplier. Maybe just short of $30M but certainly above $25M.

[CJohn]

Without midnights it did 7.6M on Friday. It will be frontloaded. 20-25M OW will be very good, but it isn't making 30M.

[The Dark Alfred]

Denzel is a draw. If MIB3 flops, it's fair to say that he might be bigger than Smith.
