How did Vampires Suck do so well? The WOM is lukewarm at best and it lost 800 theaters.

^ Agreed I am really surprised at this number for VS

Maybe teens bought tickets to VAMPIRES suck so they could sneak into GOING THE DISTANCE or MACHETE .

I'm surprised MACHETE did so well. Impressive. Legs will be poor, but even so.

Great opening week for THE AMERICAN.

Could THE EXPENDABLES possibly beat FAHRENHEIT 9/11 as Lionsgate's top-grossing film? Probably not, but I'm expecting some solid late legs. Should hold up well this upcoming weekend I think.

Toy Story actually increased on Monday!!

LAST EXORCISM held up better than I expected.
