So Red Dawn is doing better than anyone thought it would, right?

[fishstick]

Great PTA hold for SLP considering how many theaters it added and the competition. The WOM is there.

SLP isa tough sell so WOM kicking in is encouraging.

I never doubted my man Hems.

Where is Skyfall looking to total up at? $270M ish?

A lot of people think it will hit 300.

[filmnerdjamie]

Maybe. I guess. It should stay #2 (Heh heh "Number 2" heh heh) this coming weekend. Won't start seriously dropping until The Hobbit.

[Jake Gittes]

I'm thinking 275-305 final range for Skyfall atm.

Not all people interested in Bond are interested in slapstick dwarves. It could start seriously dropping only if it loses too many screens too fast. Edited November 25, 2012 by fishnets

Can't see the Top 3 changing this coming weekend. Or next.

SLP is beating AK to a pulp with PTA. It` s harder to have $12,600 PTA from more theaters than from less. AK won`t catch fire in wide release or maybe won`t even go full wide. Edited November 25, 2012 by fishnets

I agree The Hobbit is being crazy overestimated domestically. But it's still gonna open strong.

I think you're right, although there is a chance spots 1 and 2 could switch. If Bond falls 50% and Twilight falls 60%, I think they could switch spots.

Official domestic weekend estimate: $22.0 million for LIFE OF PI from 2,927 locations. Location avg. = $7,516.

#Hitchcock wasn't huge in its limited release debut. Earned $300,799 from 17 theaters. Theater avg. = $17,694

That or Life of Pi enters into the equation. Great movie by the way.

[baumer]

I might try to catch some Pi today.

It`s going to open strong because of fanbase. It won`t stomp on every movie on its path like crazies think. Holidays are very lucrative for movies so many movies will do well and some may surprise thus becoming the story of the season. case in Thanksgiving point - Lincoln. Everyone`s talking about it`s run. Runner up - SF. Biggest opener so far BD2 is treated as business as usual because other 2 are outperforming expectations. WB can beat the "our $500 mio tirlogy that prequels Oscar winning almost 3 billion grossing trilogy, with huge build-in fanbase, is an underdog" drum as much as they want but Xmas suprirse will be something doing big numbers that neither had $500 mio behind it nor gigantic build-in fandom. Yep.
