Weekend Actuals (Taken 2 - 49.5M, Hotel Transylvania - 27.05M)

[ddddeeee]

Burton's two best reviewed movies are going to be B&W flops.

[Jack Nevada]

Argo will get a lot of praise, but I dont think it'll make 40M total

[Shawn Robbins]

Is Argo even gonna make that big of an impact on BO? I honestly haven't seen any marketing for it.

I've seen quite a bit personally. Depends on what shows/channels you watch on TV, I guess. I've seen trailers for it at most movies the past month or so.

[#ED]

Do you expect big box office for those movies?

Sinister? Maybe? Honestly I don't. But it will still affect Taken 2's gross next week regardless.

Is Frankenweenie his second best reviewed movie?

Looper: 3.5m

In terms of average rating it only needs two 8/10's to jump Edward Scissorhands and Sweeney Todd. It's rating has been steadily climbing all week, seems to be a pattern with stop-motion films.

OK. Have you seen Frankenweenie yet?

Not out here until the 17th.

That sucks.

BTW if movies created by Burton count, Nightmare Before Christmas is probably his best reviewed (and arguably best liked) movie

I consider that in equal part a Burton/Selick/Elfman film.

Yeah, thats about right, though the visual style is 100% Burton

[Jake Gittes]

Frankenweenie won't be facing any direct competition until Wreck-It Ralph, so I think it'll still make its budget back comfortably in the US and maybe even approach $50m.

[Shawn Robbins]

End of Watch: 1.18m

Looper: 3.5m

Shit!Hopefully the low jump was because of Taken 2, and with the latter having not so great WOM, hopefully it recovers during the course of the week.

[Krissykins]

If America reacts to SINISTER like the UK did here last night, we're in for solid business.

How do you get 50m for Taken? Daily breakdown?And is there a midnight number?

[Ezen Baklattan]

Taken 2 went up and Frankenweenie went down.
