Nice for Narnia, although its legs are clearly tracking behind Potter's.
Good sign for Cheaper.

That's a very weak increase for Cheaper by the Dozen 2. It will struggle to $20 million over the 4-day weekend. Thank God!
Narnia had a great increase. I seriously doubt King Kong will pull ahead. I am starting to think that my $255 million projection for Narnia's total in my weekend wrap-up article was too low.
Great for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! It will pass CoS by the end of the weekend.

Great number for Narnia.
Hope Kong pulls ahead, but considering that Narnia's already ranked as #1 (while others are not ranked yet), I guess Kong's coming in second place again.

So where will Narnia end up? $250 million? $270 million? More?
I think it's pretty much locked for $250 million with a really slight chance of approaching or passing Potter.

Well, I'm not to sure yet.
It should be around $165 million after the weekend, with another $40 million total next week (through Sunday), that would put it at over $200 million.
Steep drops afterwards though, so $240 million might be as high as it will go.

NARNIA's second week is $52,110,879, a decline of just 36 %!
And BROKEBACK's second week is $3,971,424 for a $57,557 average!

I am not sure why people expect steep drops for it. I mean not all holiday-boosted films get steep drops afterwards. See the first Harry Potter flick. Even Lemony Snicket's didn't drop off the face of earth when January kicked in.
It will cross $250 million.

Yeah, I think the deciding factor is going to be next weekend and how it holds up.
If it can drop minimally then $260 million is assured, and $300 million isn't out of the question.

Narnia will actually have four $20+ million weekend's in a row, I think. I might be wrong, but wouldn't it be the only movie this year to do so?

I am not familiar with the movie other than it has Christian themes. Are the themes Christmas related like w/POTC was to Easter? If not then it shouldn't do any worse than the Potter flicks or any non-Christmas chidren's film. If they are then it might be like Elf or The Santa Clause with steep drops after the New Year. From my vague understanding of the film it is not Christmas dependent, so it should be fine.

Yep, closest 4th weekends would be Wedding Crashers' and SW:Ep.III's. $16m and $14.8m.

Well, it does have Santa Clause showing up in the middle of the movie....
It is Christmas-connected, yes. Less than The Polar Express or Elf, but moreso than, say, Lemony Snicket's. I am not sure how big this connection is to be honest, but I think it will play well after Christmas is over.

It's less Christmas-connected than HOME ALONE and we all know how this one was doing in January, right?

Home alone centered around christmas as well, that didnt stop it from busting out big BO $$$ after december.

I guess Xiayun's 40-60% increases failed to materialize. I didn't undestand why he thought that movies would increase that much today, it is not that different from yesterday. More kids were out of school but not enough to make that much of a difference, since another group of kids were getting out of school each day this week across NA. Most adults worked, if they were lucky they got a half day, but most were working.
