Studio Estimates & Analysis:

http://www.boxoffice...mate/2012-09-16

Sony officially estimates that Resident Evil: Retribution will open to $21.1 million. The domestic opening is par for the course for the franchise, although with 3D and IMAX premiums considered it represents a continued decline in actual tickets sold when compared to the previous four films (the most recent,Afterlife, opened to $26.7 million two years ago). Still, no other video game-based movie series has come anywhere near Resident Evil's successful longevity.

Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo 3D re-release hauled in $17.5 million over the weekend, including $5.06 million on Friday and $7.02 million on Saturday. If estimates hold, Nemo's 3D opening will end up less than The Lion King 3D ($30.2 million), The Phantom Menace 3D ($22.5 million) and Beauty and the Beast 3D($17.8 million). The film's original run in 2003 was good enough to still rank #24 all-time domestically entering this weekend. Nemo's combined estimated domestic total is now $357.2 million, pushing it to #21 all-time.

The Master continued the impressive pace set by its record-breaking Friday debut of $242,127 with another estimated $263,577 on Saturday, putting the estimated opening frame at an incredible $729,745. With an average of $145,949 from each of its 5 theaters, the Paul Thomas Anderson art house flick is projected to open with a higher PTA than Moonrise Kingdom ($130,749) did at 4 theaters back in May. That gives The Master the 10th best opening weekend theater average in history, and the 2nd best for a live action movie (Kevin Smith's Red State made $204,230 from 1 theater back in March 2011). Let the Oscar campaign begin.

Indy: 400kRE5: 21.1m

Is that for just Raiders or is it for the Indy Marathon and Raiders re-release combined?Edit: From the way it's listed on boxoffice.com, I gather it's not a number for the marathon alone, but the question of whether it includes the marathon still stands. And, if not, is there anyway to find out how the marathon did? Edited by Chrestomanci

Paramount didn't specify other than to say "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" ... so my guess is it doesn't include the marathon, but no way to know for sure. Will see if I can find out.
