em thats not only possible, there is good possibility that it will happen.

And don't forget Frog is likely to have the biggest Saturday jump. A Bug's Life increased 109% and had an IM of 4.9, so Frog could still see a $10m weekend.

Well I wouldn't mind if it did but seriously that might be really hard to achieve.

saturday increases in 1998 were crazy strong, lowest increase was 36%, I'm not saying we'll see a bunk of 45%-60% increases like that year, but a good saturday bump is achievable, even for holmes.

I hope it does, I went 11m in the derby.

Lets not forget that this Saturday with ALOT of people being off work and kids out of school because it's the week before New Years Holmes, Avatar, Alvin, Complicated and even Princess could experiance some major bumps today.

The problem with Princess And The Frog wasn't that it was 2D.

If you would release a 3D movie which sells itself as having frogs and crocodiles singing and dancing for 90 minutes, it wouldn't become a hit either. Audiences simply aren't that interested in watching frogs and crocodiles sing and dance.

agreed, the film looked dirt as well.

Tell that to all the DW and Disney pictures that have been released in 3-D. None of them have bombed. The only ones that ever fail to make a dent are those released by independent studios like Lions Gate. 2-D is dead

I wonder how THE YOUNG VICTORIA did.

Holy crap on everything. This proves that if there's a big appealling movie, it's not going to suffer going against another gargantuan. Such a massive weekend, even It's Complicated found its audience!!

Holy fuck.......


I can't think of any other words to describe this...

amazing

blind blowing

:speechless:

You know Alvin may end up being pretty massive today. An 80% increase on Christmas for a kids film is rather impressive.

thats what I was waiting for

ouch, new moon is getting no breaks, what a drop.

If Avatar does increase, it'll capture the biggest OW record for December... in its 2nd weekend.

whats with all this if, it will increase, the question is how much.

Yeah, looks like that could kill its chances at $300m.

There, you happy?

This holiday season keeps getting better!!!

Jesus. That's a lot of money for the top 2

maybe even a sub two multiplier, its already surpassed drek2 as the worst film to cross 200m, perhaps people will get it right this time and now allow this tripe to top 300m

much better

Incredible for Avatar. It's strong legs are very apparent now. It will make likely at least $75 million this weekend, with the potential to garner the #1 largest second weekend gross (topping The Dark Knight), and also the potential to increase from it's first weekend of $77 million if it has a strong internal multiplier and makes closer to $80 million.

At the very least, Avatar is holding really well from it's 1st weekend with a really minute drop.

Additionally, Sherlock Holmes' weekend looks to be really great as well. A fantastic opening day. I'm really impressed by the box office on the whole - really, really strong numbers!

Peace,
