Three $45M+ R-rated openings in one month.Amazing.

I hope Spike Lee's next movie gets big with the black audience, it looks pretty good.

[Mayhem2x3]

Plus, there are more Rated Fresh movies in the top 10 than in a while.

I remember a week or two during the early part of this year the top 10 were all rotten

It's probably pretty close in ticket sales though.

true

I had a feeling about Ted, I just wished I had stuck with that, MM= Total shocker to me. I knew baumer's 8m question was too low, but not that low. I guess I should have seen the signs when my wife said she was going opening night with her friends.

amazing numbers good hold from Brave, not amazing but a good hold, a 48% drop is in store. Ted will make $51.2 and MM $46.4 (Ted will finish with $190 and MM with $140)

Was hoping for a better hold for Brave. Too many selfish moms and older sisters. I think it'll make up for it in the weekdays. We'll see 38-42% holds from next weekend on out IMO (even with Ice Age).

I hope both new big openers crack the 50M. That rarely happens, and now we would have it 2 times in the same month!

[Warhorse]

Wow, Ted looks to be the big winner of the weekend. That's the second movie for Walberg to grab the top spot. Perhaps people should stop giving movies to Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, and invest more in Walberg, since he seems to put the butts in the seats.

Deadline Hollywood is overrun with ladies thanking Hollywood for finally making a movie for women. They meant Magic Mike. So it`s what women say it`s for them (MM) vs what Hollywood thinks based on The Crone and such whiny little bitch blogger`s wet dream chick flick (Brave, GWTDT). Edited June 30, 2012 by fishnets

Looks like Magic Mike has sold out the first two shows today. So much for being frontloaded at my theater, let's hope the trend is nationwide.

I am thinking there is a likely chance my theater will hit a new record in attendance today. That is scary and awesome at the same time.
