I like those much better.

does SDB not include midnights? I hope FM's were right. It seems like every SDB is just a bit lower than every FM, as if they only had like 90-95% of the actual BO.

Excellent for Cloverfield!

It's solid, IMO, especially for a movie like it. It will have a PSA over $6,000, maybe closer to $7,000. Not bad at all.
