16 Blocks - 299, +33, B
Aquamarine - 562, +24, B- (up from C+)
Dave Chappelle's Block Party - 334, +30, B (up from B-)
Ultraviolet - 626, +75, C+

Nice bounce.

Are we sure that people aren't choosing "Aquamarine" and "Ultraviolet" because they think this is a poll for favorite color? I wouldn't put it past Yahoo users. Those numbers go completely against the tracking I've seen for the two Block movies.

Heh. That's pretty clever.

16 Blocks - 325, +26, B
Aquamarine - 573, +11, B-
Dave Chappelle's Block Party - 354, +20, B
Ultraviolet - 685, +59, C+

Final numbers:

16 Blocks - 334, +9, B
Aquamarine - 577, +4, B-
Dave Chappelle's Block Party - 360, +6, B
Ultraviolet - 707, +22, C+

Predictions?

My projections:

Ultraviolet - A powerful 177 without the frontpage over the last 4 hours makes me think it will have a bit lower ratio then I was expecting. Plus the movies never had the frontpage today at anytime which will lower it more. 40 would be quite a high 4 hour ratio, and would still mean 4.4m. I'll go with 4.9m, although I'm honestly tempted to go higher. That's a high 4 hour ratio of 36 and 144 overall.

16 Blocks - Lower then expected, but the ratio could be around 85. That's a 4 hour ratio just over 20 which makes sense. 3.9m

Block Party - The ratio will obviously be lower then originally expected, like Madea's last week. I'll go with 111 because of the backloading. Being an urban film a 4 hour ratio much higher then 20 seems unlikely. I actually think it can get 3.25m. Perhaps below expectations, but a strong showing IMO.

Aquamarine - The grade doesn't suck, and given it's young audience it didn't do so poorly at night. I think the ratio will be under 300 for 2.1m.

So, could Ultraviolet be number 1 this weekend??

Despite being a rubbish actress, Milla's career isn't bad.

Resident Evil 2: $51,201,453
Resident Evil: $40,119,709
Zoolander: $45,172,250
The Fifth Element: $63,820,180.

This should be another $30M+ hit.

52 4-hour ratio for Ultraviolet even without the frontpage (while the rest were all near 20). Eh, I'm disappionted.

The Shaggy Dog - 3, C+
Failure to Launch - 2, D
The Hills Have Eyes - 5, B-
The Libertine - 757, B - I don't know how many it had going into the day.

I think The Shaggy Dog will have a ratio near 75; FTL could be near 85; HHE might have 135; and Libertine will likely be over 200 IMO.

So i fixed them

Yes, I need sleep.

The Shaggy Dog - 49, +41, C+ (up from C)

The Hills Have Eyes - 63, +49, B (up from B-)

And we're off. Pretty poor grade for Shaggy and Failure though.

The Shaggy Dog - 59, +10, C (down from C+)

The Hills Have Eyes - 71, +8, B

What kind of grade is that for Failure to Launch? If that continues, the ratio will be higher than what a romcom movie normally has.

STILL NO SHAGGY DOG ON MOVIEFONE. SEEMS RATHER SLOW FOR YAHOO TODAY. I GUESS EVEN THE TOP MOVIE WOULD BARELY COME IN AT 20 MILLION

The Shaggy Dog - 98, +0, C+
Failure to Launch - 127, +1, C-
The Hills Have Eyes - 147, +4, B
The Libertine - 801, 44 Friday, +0, B

Launch is #1 and Hills Have Eyes is #2 on Moviefone, I don't know if that's supposed to mean anything.

The Shaggy Dog - 104, +6, C (down from C+)
Failure to Launch - 130, +3, C-
The Hills Have Eyes - 153, +6, B
The Libertine - 803, 46 Friday, +2, B

Hard to tell anything from Yahoo at this point.
