Never thought HT could open so well.Solid for Looper.

[lab276]

So it started at $30m earlier, and is now at $43m. My God.

'Perks of Being a Wallflower' earns $1.14M from 102 theaters. Still strong $11,150 theater average. They should go wider faster, I think.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Adam Sandler ...

[A Marvel Fanboy]

biggest OW since TDKR for HT, and Sep OW record, Sep Saturday record.

[wileECoyote]

Adam Sandler ...

Actually I'll watch this despite having him in there.

[ravon80]

If HT can do this big, RotG officially locks 200M.

lol I don't get this logic, at all. Edited September 30, 2012 by ravon80

Very nice start for Pitch Perfect. :)Looks like BL may not make 115 after all. :(EX2 will reach 85M at least. :)And Dredd crosses 10M...

Steep drop for ParaNorman & Odd Life as expected but they are moderate hits nowNo chance I guess for Expendables 2 and The Campaign to crawl to $90 million now but still decent earningsArbitrage is doing well as well considering it's available on VODBOM is tracking Brave again after a two-week absence

Some great stuff this weekend.Hotel Transylvania 40m +Looper over 20mLast weeks openers 40% under avg dropPitch Perfect 15k per screenPerks 11k per screenTDKR after 11 weeks is still pulling over $1200 per screen.Incredible for the last weekend of September.

[Heretic]

Great for Perks. Would have been nice to see a bigger Saturday increase, but that's still a fairly impressive PTA. Should expand further next week, but I can't see it going much higher than 25m.

[Jonwo]

That opening for HT will probably mean Sony will continue releasing animated films in September/October time although i'd think one or two will end up in summer like The Smurfs.

[John Marston]

Very nice start for Pitch Perfect.

Looks like BL may not make 115 after all.

EX2 will reach 85M at least.

And Dredd crosses 10M...

it could still reach 114m with dollar theaters

[rockNrollaDIM]

Wow @ Looper's China number. Bigger than DOM.
