I guess 3 boobs wasnt enough to top Batman.

Total recall now has my permission to die.

Meanwhile... The Bourne Legacy Starts off RT with 3 rotten reviews to 1 positive.

The Bourne Legacy's punishment must be more severe.

Sunday hold was pretty good. Turns out Friday and Saturday estimates were a combined $340,000 too high. Edited August 6, 2012 by redfirebird2008

I love how TASM went from $4.3m to 4.4m. Go Spidey!

I have to say that I finally own the JOHN CARTER Blu-ray.

Congratulations?

Recall barely beat the opening weekend of the original, despite 22 years of inflation and a much bigger budget. Wouldn't be surprised if Sony fudged it too.$25,577,758 TOTAL RECALL 2012$25,533,700 TOTAL RECALL 1990

In what universe is that not fudged?

[redfirebird2008]

Sony has no shame.

[CJohn]

LOL at Sony!

[ACCA]

Finally, the legs of Rises are starting to show up, after weeks of very strong WOM. The latest NRG tracking data has been saying that about 20% of moviegoers are still nervous about going to the cinema. Excellent hold for Rises, better than The Dark Knight's 3rd weekend, despite the fact that a lot of US families are still too afraid to watch Rises in theaters. That is a very excellent Sunday hold for Rises.Also totally pathetic performance for Recall. Not that anything else was expected. Really embarassing for Sony to fudge the film's OW. The OW is simply way too close to the 1990 original for it not to be fudged. This is just one embarrassment after another for Sony this year at the box office.Wimpy's odd OW performance is proof for us that many US families are still afraid of going to theaters.

Speaking of fudging to save face...
