Hmmm, some BP love for 127 Hours at last.


Inception's strong showing continues. It's performing MUCH MUCH stronger with the precursors than TDK. Anyone saying any different is simply wrong. Right now, I'd say that Inception is the 3rd-strongest film in the race, behind Black Swan and The Social Network, tied with The King's Speech (which doesn't seem to garner ay passion for itself).

Hailee Steinfeld shows up as lead for a change!
