Here's hoping Sharkboy & Lavagirl has a short run before hitting the $5.99 Wal-Mart bin.

That's surprisingly low for Howl's Moving Castle. I thought it could top $500,000.

Only an $11,000 PTA for Howl's Moving Castle does not spell much wide success. A major dissapointment for sure.

Oh, and I'm taking my two younger siblings to go see Sharkboy tonight. Yippee...!

Sith is doing better then I thought ALmost 15 milion

$51.1M for the Smith(s).

If that estimate holds true for Sith, then that is a very very good number.

Why did Smith's only make 51 mill? Did it not increase substantially on Sat?

It increased 9%.

Nice weekend multiplier for RotS. I was worried it would fall behind AotC.

Wow, I thought it would increase by about 20%...I don't know if that is bad or indifferent. Maybe wOM isn't that strong.

$51,000,000 is probably closer to $49,000,000.

Blockbuster none the less, a flawless opening. Massive hit.

Well happy

I don't think WOM is bad. We're getting closer into summer and increases on Saturday are usually substantially weaker.

It probably didn't help Smith(s) with the increase that it was a "Friday night date movie" type of film.

Does anyone find the fact that Lords of Dogtown duplicated its Friday amount on Saturday in its second weekend hilarious? I mean, that's bad enough for a first weekend, but the SECOND weekend...

When actuals come out i bet M&MS will be under 50mill.And sith IMO is overestimated,im thinking 14mill flat when actuals come out.
Still,sith wont break 400mill now.

SBD got these numbers for Saturday:

MR. AND MRS SMITH 19.8 38.4
MADAGASCAR 7.2 123.5
STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH 6.2 327.4
LONGEST YARD THE 5.4 114.5
ADVENTURES OF SHARK BOY & LAVA GIRL, THE 5.0 8.9
CINDERELLA MAN 4.2 31.9
Honeymooners, The 2.2 4.0
SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS, THE 2.2 22.2
MONSTER-IN-LAW 1.2 75.7
CRASH .8 44.8

And it was only in 2850 theaters.

I saw a bunch of sell-outs on Saturday.

Must have had a great theater average.

Woohoo, looks like Crash might make the top 10 after all.

That's a great number for Mr. and Mrs. Smith! \:D/

Yea, and we all know how relaible they are on Saturday's.

I bet the studio that released the honeymooners regrets it now.

Heh, they made one screw up, baumer. :wink:

Oh, and great for Revenge of the Sith. It should end with a fantastic $380-$390 million.

Why would you think RotS is overestimated? The current estimate has about the same Sunday drop as last weekend. If anything, it might be underestimated, because both TPM and AotC had smaller Sunday drops on this weekend than on the previous one.


I'm afraid it will fall behind AotC when Batman opens and never pull back ahead. I think it's heading toward around $375m. Which is still great, but slightly disappointing to me after the huge opening.

High Tension with $1,750,000.
