The Help -$3,569,477 (0%)

I thought this would happen, it did stay flat on Thursday.

Great number for the Help especially since it stayed flat. Probably looking at a 20 million second weekend.

Only 17% Thurs-to-Thurs drop for The Help. A little better Friday increase and a weekend multiplier, which many films do on their second weekend (not to mention we're moving toward the end of the summer), we could see a sub-15% weekend drop.

Midnight in Paris passes $50M! Depending on how big of an expansion it gets next week it could maybe work with $60M.

It'll have a bigger friday increase, but I doubt as strong of a saturday, I'd predict about an 18-20% drop at this point, which is, of course, astonishing. It's certainly pointing to about 150m finish, slightly worse legs than bridesmaids seem likely since it's exiting summer, not entering it. Still, this is already one of the most impressive runs of the year. Teens are faultering, adult women are stepping up it seems.

Exactly. If they don't know how to behave, and feel OK offending others, they get their ass kicked, so they'll think next time before opening their rotten mouths.

Bigger Fri increase is not a given at all - very possible, but it has not fallen very far since last Friday, which often indicates a softer Friday.

In any case, it will definitely be one of the best holds of all time, all things considered.
