Estimated Wknd Numbers - BD2(141.3M) Skyfall(41.5M) Lincoln(21M)

[TLK]

FRIDAY 3 PM, 3RD UPDATE: My sources say that Breaking Dawn Part 2 is running behind Part 1 in 4,070 North American theaters as the Twilight Saga ends its phenomenal run. Right now, based on matinee trends, the vampire epic looks like $130 million through Sunday, not quite equal to Part 1‘s $138.1M first weekend tally in U.S./Canada. In 2nd place, Eon Productions/MGM/Sony Pictures’ latest James Bond actioner Skyfall looks down 65% for a $31M second weekend. That brings its North American cume to nearly $160M in just its first 10 days of release. All in worldwide, MGM/Sony expect the pic to make $800M. Also very strong is Steven Spielberg’s Oscar contender Lincoln which expanded its run from 11 venues to 1,775 this second weekend in release; it looks to earn $25M through Sunday near a $26.5M cume.

No, we wouldn't want this thread slip into barmy off-topic ramblings.

Hey, look at this fat guy doing cartwheels!

Hey! How did you get that? I thought I deleted all the copies.

You shouldn't be ashamed, look at that! I'm about as fat and I cant do a fucking somersault!

Mountains in Central Oregon. I run a pot farm. :PNo, actually Southern O. I'm a huge Ducks fan.

Puddles is awesome. I'm a Trojan fan, but really enjoy the Ducks as well. Hope they win the BCS this year.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

And OUCH for Skyfall. :(

[TLK]

$130 million is weak for BD1 but only $31 million for Skyfall and $25 million for Lincoln ? Skyfall and Lincoln numbers appear to be screwy.

Nikki doesn't know how to add, if it indeed does have $160M in 10 days, it has a $41M 2nd weekend. If not, the total is $150M in 10 days for Skyfall.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

That would be great for Lincoln though.

I am not buying either Skyfall or Lincoln numbers.

I hope you're right about Skyfall and wrong about Lincoln.

MFW people are discussing sports

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Yeah, that's gotta be a typo. 41m for Skyfall.

I'm not buying any of it. Remember who we're talking about here. The Queen of Box Wine.

[Jack Nevada]

Tell me, how do you choose a sports team you decide to support?

[Fanboy]

There's no way Skyfall drops that much. Should be at least closer to 40M.

[CJohn]

25M FOR LINCOLN?! WTF?!

[blackspider]

Very early still but, I won't be surprised if Nikki is right in thinking this will end up below BD1. I just hope that Skyfall number is wrong.
