So ED could hit 10 mill for the weekend. And this should put it on track for 50 mill.

[efialtes76]

Only  $3m for The Croods?

[Michael Gary Scott]

Is anyone seeing Scary Movie 5 this weekend?

I will never see it. Never

Those are some steep drops for holdovers. Hopefully we get strong Saturdays

[Krissykins]

So Evil Dead looks to drop about 60-63%. Not quite the Texas Chainsaw. Friday 13th, Devil Inside "big tumble" after all. $42m in 10 days is great.

Yep, and it looks like it could do about 80 WW. So a decent success.

@ERCBoxOffice: Welcome to the Top 10! THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES found $1.2M in 514 theaters on Friday.Really good expansion. Should hit 7k PTA depending on its Saturday jump. @Boxoffice: TRANCE: $286,000 Friday (est) / $460,608 Domestic Total / 438 Locations / $653 Location Avg. #TranceWell, it was never going to be a hit anyway. GI Joe was definitely hurt by competition, and The Croods had its first major drop compared to HTTYD. Real winner of the weekend was 42. I don't think anybody was expecting 30m weekend and A+ Cinemascore.

[FTF]

Great start for 42...I've only heard good things so definitely want to check it out.  And that A+ cinemascore is really impressive.

Charlie, though not a big fan of Martin either.

(I will admit I did enjoy Charlie in Three Musketeers, though I like his brother more, mabye because I grew up with Mighty Ducks )

Emilio was da bomb in Young Guns yo!

"42" gets the rare A+ CinemaScore and could make $29m by weekend's end. Way more than the $21m tracking suggested.

 

Damn im good.

[Jack Nevada]

A+ Cinemascore? Sweet jesus

[Cmasterclay]

I would LOVE to see a so-called black film that is not about slavery or racism, that doesn't feature the "magic negro" trope, that is not seen through the eyes of a white protagonist, or that doesn't need a major white star to "guarantee that white audiences go see it," and still becomes a major, major hit across all demos. I'm not taling 70-80 million dollar hit, I mean 200 million dollar hit. And no, Movies starring Will Smith or Denzel are not perceived as "black" movies. Edited April 13, 2013 by cochofles

Those all were genuinely good movies, though. Deserved their money
