Lol Pink Panther kicked Final Destinations ass.

Im still impressed by the run of Narnia.....Will they push it behind 300. We will see.
Guess Firewall will have a bad fall and end somewhere under or above 40.

the Oscar films dropped HARD!

Overestimated, all of them.

I disagree.. Saturday Numbers were very strong.. even with the snow storm, they should have decent Sundays...

Not a good weekend for Oscar:

Munich $775,000 -53.7% 546 -605 $1,419 $44,305,000
Good Night, and Good Luck. $860,000 -43.5% 685 -244 $1,255 $28,180,000
Capote $1,327,000 -42.1% 930 -309 $1,426 $20,189,000

The theater loss took its toll.

Solid for Walk The Line and Narnia. If BV supports it enough, Narnia could still squeeze out $300 m somehow. It's sad when Firewall is Ford's biggest opening in 6 years. It's still a solid opening though.

Great for FD3. I'm quite happy about Curious George's opening. It could have a very healthy run.

Solid for the Pink Panther. Granted, its budget is $80 m, but I see this as a solid performer worldwide. It's big test will come down to Date Movie, and how much business it loses to it...

I wouldn't be surprised if this is true.

Sony is doing quite well so far this year. They could be close to $350 m by early March.

I think last May i was saying something like "PP will be the flop of all flops". Well done for Sony for turning it into a hit.

Well done to FD3. Sequels for teen movies are really holding their own. Bodes well for The Grudge 2, Omen and Texas prequel.

Sony still have to do something about BASIC INSTINCT 2. Again another MGM film, Sony has to turn around.

Overall, they're pretty good I would say. I wasn't expecting the openers to open as high as they did.
I'm just glad Brokeback didn't dip under $4m.

I think its opening is sufficent enough to suggest this is a hit, especially with the buzz it had. I am hoping for legs similar ARE WE THERE YET? I think it will make $75m+.

PP also has a potential huge international box office windfall.

Great for FINAL DESTINATION 3! Bring on a fourth please! This series is too fun!

I guess sometimes it pays to listen to those early tracking numbers because they were right in the area with most of the openers, except PINK PANTHER, which was tracking to debut with around 16 Million. Still, that's more than I predicted. BIG MOMMA 2 was tracking in the high 20 Millions, and we all know how that turned out.

A lot of movies had bad holds this weekend. Even Oscar nominated movies like WALK THE LINE and CAPOTE took a dive.

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN did as well but compared to how the rest of the movies dropped this one looks damn good. I hope it can drop under 30% with the actuals, even if it's 29.9% .

SOMETHING NEW didn't do as bad as expected after Friday's number. It was looking like it would be dropping at least 50%, so it wasn't quite at that. Still, it is too bad it's doing so poorly. It looked like a really good romantic comedy.

WOLF CREEK actually did solid per-screen wise now that it's in so few theaters. It seemed more like a horror movie that would play better with art house audiences anyway.


Anyway, PP may be #1 for the weekend but FD3 will be #1 during the week.

I think Eight Below will hit this and Curious George too, maybe more than Date Movie will, since PP is basically a family movie.

Im not even seeing the logic with Firewall. For Saturday it was 10.5 million. That means even with the snowstorm there expecting it to drop the most to 3.2 million. That is not happening, it should have the lowest drop on Sunday. I think it will pass 14 when actuals come out easily.

Great weekend for movies definately, all of the films did good.

Wow. Great numbers for Final Destination 3, Pink Panther, and Curious George.

2006 is still beating 2005.

This years Oscar nominees are not holding up well at all. Last year three best picture nominees were in the top ten, drops last year ranged from 4% for Sideways to 14% for The Aviator.

FD3 improved on the opening for FD2 look for FD4 next year.

Final Destination 3 opened fantastic. And deservidly so, the movie was brilliant. Overestimated however, the actual will be around $19.5M i rekon. Would be cool if it stayed over $20M however.

Pink Panther Opened very solid. About $55-$60M total. Not the bomb anyone thought it would be.

Curious George, nice number. Should be a solid hit. Does it have a chance to cover it's budget?
Firewall seems to be the only dissapointment of the weekend, as everyone was pretty sure it would be on top. When in fact it was the weakest opener, with the worst PTA.

When A Stranger Calls actually held pretty "well" after the friday to friday. Should end at about $47M. Strong.

If it follows the current series trend, we won't be seeing FD4 for three years.

Well some of the original advertising claimed this would be the "last installment", but after the fantastic opening of this film I doubt the studio will let it die yet.

We should see at least Final Destination 5 within a few years.

Franchises are beginning to more frequently make it past the usual 2 or 3 films.

I just can't think what the next accident could be ? :S

#1 song in the country, #1 movie in the country, Beyonce is well on her way.

Great for Pink Panther, FD3, George, and even Firewall bested a lot of low expectations.

Ouch. The Oscar contenders all took tumbles this weekend. Makes no sense to me, but well, that could be me.

New World suffered massively. That has to be its largest pta drop in the scheme of things. Terrible. Actually, only Mrs. Henderson, Transamerica, and Walk the Line are showing much life at this point.

They sinply got lost in the shuffle of all the new product in the market.. dont forget, these films are still over 2 months old, and more than that for most...
