The Expendables is the winner. A sub-55% drop for the film, although indicated by the good IM it had on the opening weekend, is still excellent.

The Switch also did quite well, not just with respect to tracking, but also in the number itself. Getting to $4K PTA opposite of four other openers is commendable.

$300m is still a very long shot for Inception, but this is the first time since the sophomore weekend where the probability of reaching the mark increased; it's just unfortunate that the probability already dropped really low after the previous weekend. It's still good to see it finally breaking out of the low-50% Friday increase it had been getting and holding its PTA to above $3,000. I currently see a $290m finish.

I don't think Avatar's re-release will do well enough to enter the top 10 next weekend. Passion of the Christ release flopped horribly, and while I certainly don't expect Avatar to suffer a similar fate given its visual appeal to revisit again on big screen unlike Passion, my expectation remains mild. From my friends and colleagues' circle, even the ones who had seen it in theaters 4 or more times said they are not going to catch this one just for those extra minutes. It's certainly the wildcard of next week, and I hope derby asks to predict for it.

As I said before EXCELLENT hold for TE. I never expected it to drop below 55% this weekend, but the movie is turning out to have great run. At this rate $90M+ is happennig and $100M+ is still very much a possibility. Finally Lionsgate is able to market a movie right that isn't another Saw sequel or doesn't have Tyler Perry attached. EPLV fell quite a bit this weekend and unless it can pull the stable legs Julie and Julia had right now I don't see it grossing more than $75 - $80M domestic.

SALT lost 1,040 theaters and only dropped 45%. That's impressive.
