Hmm so Nikki is still under RTH on TA huh? I think I'll stick with RTH's range thanks. He's been right everytime with it and Nikkie has underestimated that movie since day 1.

They dumped Dark Tower for Battleshit. It's not about luck.

Was that so? They had the deal with Hasbro so they couldn't let go of Battleship. And I can understand that they were spooked by how big of an undertaking DT would have been.

[Magic]

TA and Dictator are up and Battleship and DS are down.

[druv10]

Hopefully, Rth comes in and tells us how accurate Nikke's new numbers are.

[Fake]

Even worse for Battleship!

[ecstasy]

LOL Avengers Friday goes up but the weekend total goes down. Great Nikkie.

[lab276]

They got the Lorax.

I suppose. I'm concerned about Snow White though.

[Ariadne]

I think 6m is decent for The Dictator compared to how badly the other two openers did.

[Magic]

Some fudging better happen. Take some money from What to blah blah blah and give it to THG.

Yeah, $15.5m means at least a $55m weekend. The Friday number will probably go up as well.
