STID only has previews, right?

Go MU!

[Will Hunting]

I'm a bit disappointed with that WWZ number. 20-25m finish?

Interesting that they're releasing two in one year. Any particular reason why it's not coming out next summer?

Olive anything on MU? WWZ made 2.4M so MU must have made more as it's placed higher on the weekend rankings.

2.9M OW for WHD? Too good for such a movie.

White House Down did pretty well for itself. Japan should be one of it's top markets, maybe even second behind China.

The 6th place ranking at Toho for the Star Trek Into Darkness previews is also quite strong, though it was playing at many locations during the weekend. Let's see how it performs when it opens next week.

I'm seeing the National Top 10 being: 1. The Wind Rises, 2. MU, 3. After-Dinner, 4. WWZ, 5. White House Down, 6. Boy H, 7. Pacific Rim, 8. Lone Ranger, 9. Pokemon, 10. Kamen Rider.

Man, PR really didn't hit it big in Japan. Pretty disappointing run, especially since this was supposed to be THE territory for PR.
