I really wish that Pirates was given a better release date but getting a #2 spot (although not likely with how tight the #2-5 spots are) would be some solace for what was such a high-quality animated film.

^ What would be your ideal release date? I'm thinking two weeks ago would be good so it will have more weeks to have the family audience by itself. Next week, the family audience will go for The Avengers.Five Year Engagement went from the predicted #1 to estimated #5 for the weekend, how sad!

Go THG!!! I've been cautious up until this weekend to keep from getting too excited, but screw it, it's making 400m. I've felt it all along and I'm certain now.Amazing hold for TLAM as well for its type of movie. $100m is actually a slight possibility.Absolutely pathetic that 3 holdovers (one of which is 6 weeks old) beat 5YE though. Wow, what an utter failure that turned out to be.

And 5YE is only going to get slaughtered next weekend.

Lionsgate have to leg THG to 400M now.

I was not expecting 5YE to do this bad.

I'm pegging it at Memorial Day Weekend with a "holiday boost".

[MovieMan89]

I think THG should beat DH2 by next weekend as long as TA doesn't cause a collapse. Then it will just need less than 20m from there out. I know it can do it now.

Best thing about this weekend:

The Cabin in the Woods -43.9%.

Ooooh yes

[XenoZodiac]

Dude, haven't we established by now that THG's performance OS is very unlike its performance in North America?

Which is why I don't feel much bad that it outgrosses Potter in NA.
