Weekend Estimates (Immortals - 32M; Jack and Jill - 26M; Puss in Boots - 25.5M)

[RichWS]

Great overall performances by the top three, although that's an awful Saturday drop for Immortals. I'm curious to see where Jack & Jill goes from here. I don't think $100M is happening, but how are audiences reacting? The rest of the top 10 offered no surprises.

[Cedarpoint1111]

Nice grosses, 3 movies with over 25m. And next week a 140m+ opener

[John Marston]

Speaking of overseas, In Time seems to be doing Pretty well overseas and has doubled its budgetTin Tin also might struggle to reach 400m overseas

[Incepted]

Sandler deserves to have this movie miss 100M, its surely a joke just to see how gullible people are to see something like this? Sad that it will beat Funny People by some distance.

[CJohn]

Tintin is starting to get me worried. In Time is a surprise OS.

its pathetic, he is a total sell out who hasn't been funny in a long timeSandler needs to just go away, I'm tired of his projects

[CJohn]

We will never go away. Sony will ensure that.And, to be honest, I don't want him to go away. His movies make me laugh. I am a big fan (but I have no intention of seeing JandJ).

Sandler needs to take a break, though, and lay off family films and do edgier R-rated comedies like I Hate You, Dad coming up. He has no obligation to do a film or two a year, nor an obligation to go family friendly.Mojo has their analysis up, but Ray calls Funny People a traditional Sandler comedy which is false.

Sandler is a money maker for Sony and has provided them a hit with JGWI, can't see J&J doing well OS whereas both Grown Ups and JGWI did decently.

[CJohn]

JandJ will probably flop OS.

JandJ will probably flop OS.

It didn't really flop in Mexico, but I think that can partly be attributed to Eugenio Derbez, who I believe played the stereotypically Mexican gardener and was prominently marketed in Mexican markets. Edited November 13, 2011 by Jay Beezy

[CJohn]

The mexican poster actually have Eugenio Derbez's name and image in it.

I saw that. He must be a draw in Mexico.

Immortals and Jack and Jill will both drop with actuals. Those Sunday drops are way too good to be true with the NFL going on right now. Still good openings for both of them. A very strong hold once again for Puss in Boots. It should reach $150M as long as it doesn't get smashed too hard by Happy Feet Two, Arthur Christmas, and The Muppets in the coming weeks. Just your typical Clint Eastwood opening for J. Edgar. Solid hold for Tower Heist considering it had direct competition from Jack and Jill this weekend. Expected drop for Harold & Kumar 3D. Also congrats to Paranormal Activity 3 for reaching $100M.

[Jay Beezy]

I wouldn't call Jack and Jill direct competition for Tower Heist, more direct competition for Puss because they're both family films.

[kayumanggi]

2011 will win again over 2010 next weekend.

Oh yeah I just saw its PG rating which surprised me because it had Adam Sandler in it, and his movies are usually more of the PG-13 type movies.

[rainbowtrout]

I'm not the biggest fan of his movies, but Adam Sandler is the nicest guy in the business, according to someone I know (or more accurately, know his daughter and she gives me the gossip) who caters movies/tv shows. So I have to root for the guy.

[AniNate]

Yeah, I've heard a lot of people say that Sandler is a class act in real life. But that doesn't excuse his terrible movies.

[CJohn]

Really? I already rooted for him, but now I may see JandJ in theaters....Not very likely, bit I am there OD for I Hate You Dad!
