gross the most (domestic)?

I chose not to include Lincoln. Its seven-day limited bow almost reminds of a Disney movie's. It is obviously intended as a major nationwide release.

I don't even understand why The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a limited release. It doesn't seem to be the type of film to get amazing reviews and expand slowly. It should be in multiplexes frequented by teens, not art-houses.

Yeah I agree.

There's only one vote and it's for Anna Karenina. I'm guessing that's yours Gun :P. Don't see why this will make much more than other similar films, like The Duchess. I'm thinking 18-22 Million. Of course that could easily be enough to best the rest of this crop.

My money is on Anna Karenina.

Either the Master or Anna K.

Both look to make something in the $35-$55m range.

Perks is going wide as far as I know?

My answer to this is either The Sessions or Hyde Park on Hudson, depending on which gains more Oscar traction.

Edit: Or The Master. I dunno.

Box Office Mojo lists it as limited.

They've been wrong on that before, though. I think it will be wide when all is said and done.

I propose a bet. $500.

It wouldn't make sense for it to be limited. I think it will end up with a count of 800-1,200.

I mean seriously if Cosmopolis was given a more well known studio (even say Focus), it would do quite well. Oh well.

Yeah, it definitely wouldn't.

IMO, easily Anna Karenina.

Nah. Doesn't seem mainstream enough and Pattinson has proved he isn't much of a draw outside of the Twilight series.
