Holy hell, $170+ Million top 12? For just the 3-day weekend?
What's next, $100 Million OW for Watchmen?Taken may just be the most ridiculous BO performance I've seen in some time. I guess people love their action movies.

From the other thread: Rorschach wrote: I see this pattern for F13: Fri: 20m Sat: 15m (25% drop) Sun: 11m (27% drop) Mon: 5.5m (50% drop) 3-day: 46m 4-day: 51.5m In 2004 (Last time Valentine's fell on a Saturday), most date-heavy films (As I think F13 might be) fell 40-55%, and with added frontloadedness from Friday that might be off-put by Valentine's, it'll probably drop at least 40%. I'd expect: Friday - $19M Saturday - $14M (-25%) Sunday - $8M (-42%) Monday - $4.4M (-45%) For a $40 million 3-day, $44.4 million 4-day. Which, BTW, would still be insane. So, over/under Cloverfield total? I say under. |

That would be absolutely ridiculous... and, if that's the case, the MPAA should be promoting piracy! It would also be ridiculous for Gran Torino...which will probably make more than The Departed. |

Also: With those kind of numbers for F13, anyone else thinking Taken benefited greatly from sneak-ins? |

Taken is having an amazing run. I think it could top Paul Blart. |

I haven't stressed what an AMAZING number that is for Friday the 13th. Realistically, I thought around $17m max (and just barely making my $45m four-day prediction), but this is awesome. I hope it beats The Grudge for the horror opening record. And jesus, Taken! |

GRAN TORINO Warner Bros. · 2303 · $6,250,000 · $2,714 · $127,500,000 Ok, one of you box office wizards can help me out here. Somebody good with multipliers, legs, etc... From my eyes, it appears Gran Torrino will topple 145 million. Are you seeing that? |

What exactly is the appeal of Taken? Also, yes, this proves piracy has little effect. Copies of this were even circulating around my office... |

At this point, Paul Blart will most likely pass Star Wars: Special Edition as the highest grossing January film. Also if Taken continues to have these massive holds then $125M may be in play. |

I think it shows the most people don't know where to look for pirate copies. It takes forever for anybody to download a copy off the internet, so most people don't. I think the appeal is a desire for the old action films. |

Also, Paul Blart's run has been amazing. It just won't stop making money! Increases should be especially big for holdovers, The Uninvited included. The Messengers increased 197% on Valentine's Day. |

What was the last horror movie to pass 100 million? Not saying F13 is going too, but I think it should be able to hit a 2 multiplier, it was pretty well liked, so it has a chance. Dam, we haven't had a horror movie cross 100 million since the The Grudge 5 years ago, thats insane (Twilight and I am Legend are not horror movies) Taken is absolutely insane, it'll pass 100 million in two weeks the latest. He's just not that into you should come close too depending on how good it holds in the next weeks. |

Hopefully, Hollywood has noticed that rating doesn't matter and R-rated horror films can and do make big money. No more PG-13 crap like The Unborn, please. The Uninvited doesn't fall into this since it isn't a horror movie. |

seriously, it is so insane that a Day in February will have the first non summer/holiday season 50m+ friday. Its never happened on easter, and even 2003 with its disproportionately huge october could not manage it. Even more insane is it happened a day before the historically huge valentines day. There was a 120% increase on saturday in 1998 and a 121% increase in 2004 both would push saturday over 100m. |
