Does anybody know how to add tables easily?

That's not true. It made $83,188,165 WW, which is quite awesome actually . The combination of this and being well-received by critics is what got us a sequel. I just wish Aja had been back for this one. I don't expect it to improve on the gross of the first, it may even make a little less (I'm sure WW it will do less), but it should still turn a profit.

I think Potter, Cars 2, Panda 2 all will top their previous installments.

I guess you forgot Twilight

Well I wasn't thinking beyond August to tell you the truth so I did forget it in that sense.

So you really hate Scream or you just reserved these for other updates?

BTW really great charts

The latter, my friend.

Thanks. I'm only probably going to update again most of the franchises listed once the movie's run ends. So not too much time on my part.

Ha ha I guessed so. I have PM'ed you the Excel sheet. Your data will suit those tables a lot, hope you like it
