It appears Hp will win this year as I don't see TDK going anywhere near 30 million.

Considering the other HP4 and hp5 were number 1 in their respective years, hp6 will be the number 1 film this year.

TDK has already got 1 million in sales from Cineplex and Famous Player theaters alone.

No, I don't know which one is the biggest, but SPIDER-MAN 3 did $12.25m last year...

That is a huge opening for TDK. And it isn't surprising. Every imax in the GTA was sold out till Monday. The lines on Sunday night were massive and afternoon shows sold out. I think this is going to have huge legs as well.

However Mark it is set to out gross Spiderman 3 which had like 30-32 million gross.

TDK falls only 44.5% in its 2nd week and rises to 25.2 million and is only 2 million behind IJ and IM.

Judging from its lower drop here in Canada, I expect a leggy run and with a Holiday weekend next week, the film will likely fall below 40%... I see a 42 million dollar finish which is what DMC and Shrek 2 got.

1 The Dark Knight:5.84M $25.21M -44.5%


From Day 1-3 it got 10.5 million and from day 4-10 it got almost 15 million dollars.

TDK got 8.9 million dollars from the weekdays

It is still way behind ROTK which got like 29 million by this time but it had 2 extra days.

TDK will hit 40 million easily which is 4.0 multiplier...

nice, now the U.S. needs to do its part and send the film well over 600m.

Films in Canada open lower but have better legs.


Shrek 3 and AWE all had near a 3.0 multiplier but ended below 30 million.

TDK made 4.79 million during the past weekdays.

the movie is doing way better during the weekdays here.


Anyways it is holding well and it should get over 45 and may go to 50 million.
