$729,745 THE MASTER ($145,949 average) - not too shabby... |

Isn't the Lawless number a bit disappointing after its performance on Friday? |

The weather was insanely gorgeous yesterday, that may have been a contributor. |

Does anyone really think that weather has an effect on films in the United States? I have never once thought about it when going to see a film (though maybe I am not representative). Further, Americans are fat, which would lead me to believe they are less likely to go outside and do something when there is good weather. |

^ I don't know about good weather (which is a MAJOR factor here, but never really seemed to have an effect in the US), but if you mean, genereally - yes. Snow storms have shown to have a large effect in the past. |

I agree that weather that prevents or makes it a hindrance to see a film (flooding, snow storms, hurricanes, etc.) are likely to drive down numbers. But, I do not think good weather does much on attendance (in the U.S.). Maybe in some place like Colorado where there is more of an outdoor culture. |

Eh. I know a lot of people who choose not to go to the movies if it's beautiful outside. I don't just mean sunny or clear or whatever, but actively gorgeous like yesterday was on the East Coast. |

More numbers are in: Finding Nemo with $17.5 million, just as expected. The Expendales 2 passed $80 million. Last Ounce of Courage thankfully disappointed. Whew. I suppose its target audiences spent all the monhey for 2016 Obama's America. Despite a smaller opening weekend, The Possession has passed The Last Exorcism's final gross already. Impressive. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days rebounded extremely well after its disappointed opening with BY FAR the best legs in the series and could end up getting to $50 million afterall. |

Isn't it a given that when there's a better than expected Friday numbers, Saturday has a stupid non-reason to be weak and is. Cue Libsie Debbie Downer comments. But, it's happened many times a strong Friday, observed by the board, suddenly results in curiously weaker numbers on the Saturday for reasons unknown. |

Superb weekends for The Master and Arbitrage. |

It has also happened in the different direction. So what. |

Considering its disastrous opening, D+ CinemaScore, and the fact many theatres axed its showtimes down to one or two in the early AM and/or very late PM, The Cold Light of Day didn't drop too hard. Only 54 percent. |

Fantastic openings for Arbitrage and The Master. Liberal Arts had a very so-so opening. |

I'm sure The Master hurt Liberal Arts. |

As amazing as The Master's opening PTA is, I believe it will pull a There Will Be Blood/Precious by not exploding once it goes really wide. Even now I don't see more than $50 million (even though that would already be great). |

50 million would be amazing, even with this opening. |

Also, when the hell is The Intouchables going to expand? I guess they are going to wait till Oscar tiem at this point. |

Does The Intouchables even need to expand? The current strategy of always having it play in around 150 to 300 theatres seems to be very successful. |
