Not an especially impressive increase for Panda.

Nope. I expected it to go over 20 Million.

Guess we should have known two movies weren't going to open above 100 Million in the same weekend.

Panda 2 can see Rio like drops for the next 4 weeks till Cars2 and miss $200m mark....this is getting pathetic. TH2 on the other hand looks like it will cross POTC4 without 3D premium....what a surprising summer this is turning out to be. BIG but still surprising.

I think it would be extremely difficult for Panda to make 200M. IA3 did come close with similar opening but that was in heart of summer when weekdays were stronger(at least compared to next 2 weeks). Plus there were no major competition after that(I would not count g-force as major competition). Panda will face lot stronger competition. It will take a HUGE hit once cars 2 opens. Before that there are GL and Penguins.

Panda won't survive the Lantern/Cars/Transformers onslaught. Assuming it even has good legs, $190M would be tops.

KFP2 is obviously underperforming. Wednesday midnights + Thursday + Friday is smaller than KFP's Friday alone.

The Hangover Part II is doing great so far.

Midnight In Paris Any news on how Tree of Life did on Saturday?

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides actually held pretty well this weekend, all things considered.

Fast Five I didn't think it would come to $200 this fast? Nikki's overestimating a bit? I don't see a $3.2m Monday coming off a $5.8m weekend.

Are you assuming that Lantern poses a threat because of 3D? Because Panda has a 46% market share. Also, Lantern will be raped by Cars 2/Transformers/double comedy/Potter/CA/Cowboys onslaught.

FUCK YEAH GO MIDNIGHT IN PARIS! Wish I played the Derby now. Might have completely tanked Hangover (125m) and Panda (105m) but I had MIP in 7th place!

Well, there's our KFP2 answer. Looks like its BOM poll was inflated relative to the first film. Not sure why, though?

Ummmmm, it's a sequel?
