Really hope RIPD is good, because Jeff Bridges is a fantastic actor. If Les Miserables really ends up being that good, could we see it make even more than Mama Mia WW?

[A Marvel Fanboy]

More than MM ? No ...

You know, when you think about it is quite sad that a film has reached a 200m OW before Universal has even had their first 100m OW.

Department of the Dead. A lot of cgi for the creatures.

Yah, and an independent studio has had several $100M openers--Lionsgate/Summit.

[kayumanggi]

It's a consolation they are still ahead this year.

Not for long, but it's probably the longest they've been number one since the 90's.

[kayumanggi]

True. I expect them to be in the top 4 this year. Maybe top 3.

And what's even more sad(more like depressing) is that the second weekend of avengers will be bigger then Uni's highest OW.....
