Weekend Numbers (starts pg19) Taken2 22.5, Argo 20.2 mill

[The Toymaker]

I refuse to believe Perks did not manage to get into the top ten.

Other than you, nobody cares about it.

[TLK]

Is Argo the ifrst movie since The Avengers to get an A+? 600 million, here we come. I think it is almost a lock for $100 million with an opening like this and is guaranteed tons of Awards nominations.C+ Cinemascore for a movie like Sinister is okay too as people give low scores to horror movies because of how most of them end. Sinister's ending isn't any better in this regard. This does not mean that the quality of the movie is C+ level. Overall very predictable weekend.

Perks will be another movie that deserves more than it got

[Jake Gittes]

Leave it to Summit to take a perfectly crowd-pleasing and relatable PG-13 teen comedy/drama and turn it into another Hurt Locker / Ghost Writer / Into the Wild box-office wise.

Mila Jovovich was right when she made that angry tweet that Summit only cares for Twilight and nothing else. It`s true. They have boxoffice success only with 2 things that sell by itself - Twilight and Denzel. Their Twi ponies flop hard in non-Twi movies because Summit can`t sell anything that isn`t pre-sold already for reasons that have little to do with Summit. Edited October 13, 2012 by fishnets

[baumer]

I am so disappointed. Wow. Sinister must of had massive late shows.

[rockNrollaDIM]

WTF ?!?!Sinister and Argo switch places over night? Sinister???!

[rockNrollaDIM]

Leave it to Summit to take a perfectly crowd-pleasing and relatable PG-13 teen comedy/drama and turn it into another Hurt Locker / Ghost Writer / Into the Wild box-office wise.

Ugh.. I take it Perks expansion didn't go well. What a shame.

[Deep Wang]

Yeah, our last two shows of SINISTER sold out last night.

[baumer]

I hope Argo goes up today. A 10-15% bump would be nice.

[tawasal]

Sinister is ruling the Friday chart, but horrible days for it to come next.

It could happen as TT increased with 12,9 percent.

Why? Is the wom really that bad?

[Jack Nevada]

Boy, folks 'sho love 'em spooky pictures, dont they?

[tawasal]

Why? Is the wom really that bad?

Does C cinemascore bode well or bad?

[baumer]

So if it follows The Town:5.86.54.216.5....siggghhh. Even with a 4 multiplier that brings it to 66 mill. I'm sad already.

Does C cinemascore bode well or bad?

Not so good.
