Post THE HELP - 120 Million Club


Opens August 12th against Final Destination 5 and 30 Minutes or Less. It's based on a bestselling book and seems like it will be a big crowd pleaser.

Should follow in the footsteps of other August female-driven films that are based on books.


JULIE & JULIA - $94,125,426
TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE - $63,414,846
EAT PRAY LOVE - $80,574,010

Very out. See a finish in the $40-50m range.

Well congratulations :P.

There's just no way this does that little though, IMO. Even something with a lukewarm response like TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE made over 60 Million. Can't imagine this finishing with anything less than that.

It reminds me more of The Secret Life of Bees. Of course, this'll have more theatres and promotion.

It does make me think of that, but this will obviously be bigger.

A lot less star power, though.

I think this is possible. The book is beloved and it's opening in the same slot that Eat Pray Love and The Time Traveler's Wife found success in.

And Gunslinger, that's way too low.

Out I think 80m will be a stretch, I think this will make 63m-68m which would be great for it

I see it doing a little better than $63m-$68m but only to the range $68m-$70m.

This is looking really good and it should cross $100m with those opening numbers.
