kayumanggi Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) http://www.deadline....-breaking-dawn/ SATURDAY PM, 7TH UPDATE: Oh sure, you’re too cool (or too male) for the Twilight Saga global phenom. But Summit Entertainment’s Breaking Dawn Part 1 is shattering the four-month-old North American box office slump and shooting the overall moviegoing weekend up +11% from last year’s total. Hollywood should be grateful to females young and old for keeping the business buoyed this weekend now that young males have abandoned indiscriminate moviegoing. (Seriously, give thanks early.) Here is the Top 10 rundown. Full analysis later: 1. Breaking Dawn Part 1 (Summit) NEW [4,061 Theaters] Friday $72M, Saturday $42M, Weekend $142M Yowza! Summit Entertainment was cautiously optimistic that this fourth Twilight Saga installment Breaking Dawn Part 1 could match or beat the biggest one-day and Friday opening in the franchise’s history. It didn’t. But it was the #3 best-ever Single Day and Friday opening, behind only Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2‘s $91M and the Twilight Saga New Moon‘s $72.7M. Despite director Bill Condon receiving the worst reviews of the franchise, this pic today earned a ‘B+’ CinemaScore. Also, the penultimate pic based on Stephenie Meyer’s vampire romance novels is off to a great start internationally as it began its roll out in 54 markets around the globe with $66M starting Wednesday through Friday screenings. The global total is now $180M. 2. Happy Feet Two (Warner Bros) NEW [3,606 Theaters] Friday $5.9M, Saturday $9.6M, Weekend $21.8M Given how well family fare is doing at the North American box office these days, the real test for this 3D sequel to George Miller’s beloved 2D toon will be over Thanksgiving weekend. But for nowHappy Feet Two is grossing only half of the 2006 original, which opened to a $41.5 weekend. “One word: disaster. Despite being in 3D,” a rival studio exec snarked to me. But another noted, “No doubt all the families are waiting until next week to go to the movies.” Pic released on the anniversary of the original and received a ‘B+’ CinemaScore from audiences. Hollywood expected an opening in the high $30sM. Nope. Not even close. And next week The Muppetsmovie debuts so more competition for the tots and their parents. On the other hand, singing and dancing CGI penguins are hard to resist. 3. Immortals (Relativity) Week 2 [3,120 Theaters] Friday $3.8M, Saturday $5.2M, Weekend $12.5M (-61%), Cume $53.3M That’s an unfortunate drop for a 300-clone that underperformed last Friday. Immortals is not the Hail Mary that Relativity hoped it would be. 4. Jack And Jill (Sony) Week 2 [3,438 Theaters] Friday $3.5M, Saturday $4.5M, Weekend $12.3M (-51%), Cume $41.4M This Jack And Jill won’t have the usual gazillion multiple of most of Adam Sandler/Happy Madison comedies. 5. Puss In Boots (DreamWorks Animation/Par) Week 4 [3,415 Theaters] Friday $2.5M, Saturday$5.1M, Weekend $10.8M, Cume $122.4M Edited November 20, 2011 by kayumanggi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totem Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Not that expected. Would be flat minus midnights, good hold if accurate.35% drop tomorrow for 27.3M sunday and 141m weekend. Crazy, has a shot at 300m which I want it to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertron Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 About time! Better than expected actually. I hope it holds and I'd love to see all days go up so it can hit $145 m, or at least beat New Moon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariadne Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 If this holds that's excellent - and freakishly similar to New Moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost nothing happens in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizzer Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 With this number, following New Moon's Sunday drop would yield a $27.7M Sunday for an OW of $141.7M That would put this on pace for $291 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
