I have high hopes for dos outgrossing AUJ

[John Marston]

Will DOS pass AUJ in gross that's all that matters

[Olive]

We don't know.

Last year Les Mis was huge in SK, which stole the thunder.

[chasmmi]

any advertisement for DOS is pretty non-existant that I've seen. I've seen posters for the Butler and Riddick but none for Hobbit

We don't know.
