She is the Cleopatra of BO. Her beauty is breathtaking.

And much like Cleopatra she knows how to kill a movie studio

Any other desk jockeys struggling through the last couple hours of the work week? Time is crawling!

Same here. But then again, time will continue to crawl until I see OW of TDKR. In the meantime, making mini-milestones like wagering on the Mad3 vs. Prometh. OW as if I give a shit about it.

Does the anticipation of seeing a movie at midnight on thursday affect bo sales of other movies during the day

*raises hand*Code monkey here... 90 minutes until my weekend starts. Can't wait! After dinner with my daughter, I'm going to see Prometheus tonight with the boys.

Good question. I know sometimes when I catch a midnight showing I will see an earlier showing of a different film. Sometimes theaters will even run related films with the new release back-to-back. So I think there could be some sort of impact. I'm not sure how big, though.

Box Office Estimates (12pm PST): "Prometheus" and "Madagascar 3" neck and neck with $22M-$27M friday, $60M+ weekend.

$22 million for Prometheus will mean low 50s weekend.

$22 million for Madagascar 3 will mean low 60s weekend.

I wish. I'm on my way to work right now. I'm already over 30 minutes late thanks to the construction on the interstate.

I guess Mad 3 wins the weekend.

How come anytime I want early Friday numbers, Nikki never posts them

He might just be talking about day business for Prometheus.

[TLK]

^^ Variety is a trade magazine and its reporters have more sources inside studios than Nikki but it is a 12 PM EST update so take everything with a grain of salt.
