Updated the analysis to note Red State's unofficial gross status. Mojo is the only source reporting such a high figure, which appears to be incorrect as we're finding.

Red State also had $50 tickets or something.

I doubt its gonna do blockbuster numbers(though I'd love to be wrong), but yeah, the box office is boring as shit lately.

[BK007]

Why is Nemo "upset"? Who figured it to beat RE? Thought RE was always the favourite.

I'm not saying it'll do gangbusters, but its a movie that will either fail miserably at the BO or surprise. Its certainly going to be Interesting

[Shawn Robbins]

I don't understand, wasn't Red State from last year?

Yes, but Mojo reports it made over $200k from 1 theater. If that were true, it would be the highest opening weekend PTA for any live action movie. But, Mojo appears to be the only source reporting. The number was never officially reported, but various sources have reports ranging from $100k to $160k to Mojo's $200k+ -- and one or two sources claim it was 2 theaters, not just 1.In other words, its too ambiguous to call.

Fair enough, although plenty of predictions and tracking pointed to it being a toss-up -- if not favoring Nemo at times.

I see. I had no idea it was even a thing, I've never even noticed it on the list.

I don't think many did.

At least the BO is looking better than last week. As for Nemo, decent number I think. It's a re-relase of one of Pixar's best (IMO) but it's computer animated 3D, so there's been quite a bit of those lately. I thought it would do a little more than Beauty 3D since it was still a bigger BO hit during it's initial run. But I think 3D of traditional animation is more of a novelty than 3D of computer animation so it kind of balanced things out.

FINALLY! WOOT!

Nice holds for Possession, The Campaign, Lawless, ParaNorman and Odd Life! Having ParaNorman and Odd Life really took some potential family audience for Nemo 3D .

Not quite 3x but sooooo close

[ecstasy]

Bourne 28% drop is fantastic. But looks like it went down from earlier estimates. Good drop nonetheless.Can't believe Paranorman. How much did it jump on Saturday. Was it even in the Top 10 on Friday?

I'm confused -- everyone is saying 'The Master's $145,949 avg. is the best non-animated of all time. Why are we all ignoring 'Red State'

Ray Subers ‏@raysubers @EWGradySmith Ignoring Red State because it has a GIANT asterisk ($40+ ticket prices + Kevin Smith in person appearance = cheating).

[kitik]

Why is Nemo "upset"?Who figured it to beat RE? Thought RE was always the favourite.

A lot of people thought Nemo would win, and some tracking had it more like $34M than $17M.

[YoursTruly]

Didn't tracking have Nemo and RE5 in the mid-20s? Whups. Everything else was pretty impressive, though.
