I don't blame Dreamworks for gambling on Guardians, using these public domain characters for a holiday film makes sense. Unfortunately the character design looks so bland you'd think it was a direct to video amination.

BD ll projected 5-day is 5 M more than BD l. 300 M is achievable.

It's holding better than BD1 and looks like 300M is on the table for it. Skyfall and BD2 both have strong shot at passing 300M.

TWILIGHT BDp2 was an overwhelming #1 on Wed., grossing $12.8M. Total is now $175.5M.

[Heretic]

Skyfall has literally exploded everywhere. And deservedly so! Never would I have thought we'd see a potential billion grosser Bond.

12.8 for BD2

[baumer]

Rich beat me to it....so that's about an 8.5% jump for BD2, which is basically about the difference that it increased from BD1 yesterday. This series really is like clockwork.

[cookie]

The 5-day estimate puts BD2 back on equal footing with New Moon, whether or not that number holds remains to see.

[kayumanggi]

That's a good number for BD ll.

Guilt Trip looks awwwwful. I've pretty much missed that discussion but whatever, wanted to state my incredibly important opinion.

And have SIX 300 M films for 2012, a first.

[baumer]

So can we just say now that BD 2 will finish with between 286 and 300 mill?

That's agreeable.

More like 290-300M.

[CoolioD1]

More like 250-380.

[acsc1312]

Skyfall is officially a beast. Potential of 300m is cray cray.

[kayumanggi]

More like 290-300M.

I agree.

[Goffe]

Seriously though, how the hell is Red Dawn making 23M+ ?

I always knew this movie would be a middle hit

[DoctorWho]

ERC:

FilmDistrict's RED DAWN shot up $4.2M on opening day--sure helps having the Mighty Thor in your bunker.
