SM4 and IA will fall tomorrow by like a million.

Friends With Money held up really impressively.

The PTA went down by less than $2,000 despite adding 14 theaters.

Slither opening weekend - $3,880,270

Scary Movie 4 opening weekend - $41,020,000

Is there no justice in this crappy world of ours?!?

8 10 THANK YOU FOR SMOKING FoxS [b]$4,450,000 +92.7% 1,015 +716 $4,384 $11,498,000 5[/b]

Decent. Not wowing, but decent.

15 18 FRIENDS WIH MONEY SPC [b]$805,000 +36.6% 42 +14 $19,166 $1,600,000 2[/b]

Insane. What the hell is Aniston's pull? 20,000 pta in 42 theatres is really good. This movie needs to expand north of 200 next weekend.

N/A 24 BRICK Focus [b]$233,000 +16.9% 45 +24 $5,177 $634,000 3[/b]

Meh. 5,000 pta isn't bad, but its not stellar. Should jump to 800 theatres next wekeend the way Kung Fu Hustle tried to do, and just ride it out early.

N/A N THE NOTORIOUS BETTIE PAGE PicH [b]$145,000 - 20 - $7,520 $145,000 1[/b]

Unimpressive considering how much buzz there was around this film earlier.

N/A N KINKY BOOTS Mira. [b]$81,100 - 9 - $9,011 $81,100 1[/b]

Unimpressive. But people are getting tired of "cute" U.K. sex comedies, maybe?

N/A N HARD CANDY Lions [b]$60,000 - 2 - $30,000 $60,000 1[/b]

Surprisingly low. I thought it would be closer to 38,000. Don't know what that means.

It's expanding to 800 next weekend.

Libs, can you update the calculator?

Could Scary Move 4 be the first $40M+ opener that will miss the $100M mark?

SM4 is almost a lock to be the first $40m opener to not make $100m. That IM is just awful, and there's no evidence showing that it can pull off a higher multiplier than the third (which had Halloween to increase its legs).

I'm gonna say it would have been the first 40+ to miss 100 but the actuals will have it just under 40.


***I just looked in disbelief and horror how out of 51/96 votes gave the film an A. BOM user quality must really be shyte to explain that result***

I didn't know the Weinsteins took the SM4 rights from Dimension. I'm so out of touch.

I'm disappointed in Kinky Boots and Brick. Otherwise a very unremarkable start for pretty much everything.

I agree. Hopefully the actuals stay above $40M. That huge Saturday drop does not bode well.

I picture Libs frothing with joy every time she posts numbers.

Anyway, Great for Friends with Money.

Brick is officially struggi-ling. What a shame.

Hard Candy's opening is kinda disappointing, actually. One of the two theaters it was in this weekend was the Arclight (same as Brick's opening weekend), so I was expecting a similar opening weekend PTA.

The Notorious Bettie Page is also a letdown. Sucks for those of us who were hoping it would expand to their area.

Kinky Boots looked terrible, so no real surprise there.

Yes, yes, it did.... but who cares? Watching people in drag is ALWAYS entertaining

You got me

I know you love doing it deep down inside!

You have a stats fetish.

SM4 still has some room to drop a little more Sun and still reach $40m. It can drop around 43-44% and still reach it. Either way, it will likely be the highest opening movie to not reach $100m.

I don't see why people think it's over a million overestimated. The Sunday drop looks normal considering how much audience it lost on Saturday.

Pretty low multipliers for SM4 and The Wild.

The drop next week will be bad, but it wont be as bad as some think (ie 70-80%). The long weekend is just skewing the number down quite a bit.

Fri $5.7 m -70%
Sat $7.125 +25%
Sun $3.92 -45%

Next weekend: $16.74 m -59.2%

13 N LA MUJER DE MI HERMANO Lions $1,025,000 - 205 - $5,000 $1,025,000 1

Pretty impressive for a foreign film. And..

15 18 FRIENDS WITH MONEY SPC $805,000 +36.6% 42 +14 $19,166 $1,600,000 2

Pretty impressive, period. It will become Nicole Holofcener's highest grossing film, by far.

Hmmm, I thought LA MUJER DE MI HERMANO would do better considering the performance at my theater. Let's see if my theater was the highest grosser for that movie.

Oy, pretty bad for Scary Movie 4. Won't pass 100.
