What happend to Rise of the Guardians? Seems like it suddenly died with the same theater count?

ROTG's estimated at $1.8m Friday. Its still doing fine and would cross $100m but nothing more.

This is off topic but WHY THE FUCK ISNT SOCIAL NETWORK, ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS EVER MADE, IN THE IMDB TOP 250?!What a disgrace.

Is it the kind of film people 'fall in love with', rather than greatly admire? Because that's the only caveat for a place on that list, as far as I can tell.

Nikki's numbers are a bit tighter than rth's. It's still going to be a close three-way race this weekend.

Neither is Drive. Apparently the Top 250 isn't a place for great "cool" films anymore, it's movies like TKS and Intouchables that are much more comfortable in there now.

I guess you have a point, but there are quite a few more cerebral and unemotional films on the list

TKS and especially Intouchables are fucking great, though

[A Marvel Fanboy]

TSN is solid and that's it.

It's best to not care about the top 250. It's literally a popularity contest, nothing more.

Then are A Separation, Yujimbo, The Celebration or some other little seen films that most people have not seen on the list?

[fishstick]

I`m sick so I won`t be able to follow numbers but all I can say is Fuck Yeah DU! By far the best movie of the season, deserves to have tremendous hold despite obvious disadvantages (extreme violence, shocking languge, controverisal content).TH = Saturday movie, stop fretting. What it loses on Fri it makes up on Sat.LM has burned the Mizheads demand and needs TC upgrade ot it`ll start falling harder. Everyone who wanted to see it where it was avaliable has already seen it. Plus musicals aren`t for everyone.

Dream on. You cna take shit on QT cameo which is made for shit-taking purposes. But acting and dialog are DIVINE. Best in many years. Edited December 29, 2012 by fishnets

Yojimbo is one of Kurosawa's popular action flicks, known to almost anyone who's interested in classic world cinema.A Separation and The Celebration are typical indie films and enough people have seen world wide, through limited theatrical releases, indie movie channels and DVD/Blu-ray rentals.Imdb top 250 is a popularity contest like all Internet polls for sure, but since it's world wide web, people from all over the world are voting, non Hollywood mainstream movies are bound to be in there.

We'll see.. We'll see

Les Miz looked viable ehen it had that massive $18 million opening, but now only $9 million on Friday?Since cinephile demand burned off after its opening, it looks like WOM isn't spreading as needed to push it past $150M+, let alone the $200M+ some people are predicting.
