How's the rental business? Its doing quite nicely here, people rent a lot of movies. We have three chains of rental stores, and all seem to be doing good. Action movies and horror and comedy are the most popular

Rental business doesn't exist here Nothing. I think there are no stores of that anywhere. Nobody rents movies. We have 0 chains of rental stores.

The Words: 930k

[forg]

Rental used to be strong here (during VHS/VCD days) but now it's almost dead although there's still one chain still surviving though. I used to have a card there but I lost it

The people who will be interested in watching Dredd are the types of people who check stuff like that.

But how many they are, the problem that is.

To have a 200k PTA for the weekend, The Master needs to go up 25% today and drop 15% tomorrow. It's extremely difficult, but it's not impossible.EDIT: Nevermind, I just realized it was on 5 theaters, not 4. Still, this is unbelievably amazing.

Just hoping EX2 stays over 850K.

[druv10]

Where's TE2? I just hope it stays at or above 900K.

Nemo: $5.06m

With that opening.... 20M OW is almost gone.....So it will be like 18m opening and 45-50m total..... wait.... didn't that happen for some other re-release as well?

I think WOM will determine today and tomorrow. If it keeps selling out, we might see the 200k number. I just can't wait to see what it does next week with its expansion. Edited September 15, 2012 by acsc1312

I am a little surprised Nemo opened to less than Beauty (5.6m) when Nemo's marketing campaign was so much stronger. I can't wait to see what The Master does next weekend.

[baumer]

So now we can put to rest all this negative feedback about Titanic and Menace. For films to be on DVD for years and to be playing on TV every weekend, to come out and make 40-50 mill is quite astonishing when you think about it. Nemo's opening is fine.

Res Evil: $8.4m

[Fake]

Excellent hold for TDKR BTW. 450m still possible?

[DAR]

Yep this is akin to the cake has already been made, frosted and then someone says, hey how about some ice cream with it.

That was in response to Baumer

Can't you just call Lionsgate and tell them to get the EX2 number out?

Absolutely. Great analogy.

True, Lion King's run was just phenomenal last year and because of that some people have lofty expectations for the other 3D rereleases. Lion King 3D's run last year was the biggest box office shocker for me last year

[BK007]

Is there an updated list of numbers anywhere

I sort of gave up on this. Still hopefully but it would be really difficult.
