Breaks opening 6-day record, should get all of them till ten now.

i think your over estimating the saturday rise, but also underestimating the friday rise.

BOM's numbers are up.

clicks having great weekdays. its a lock for 125 million now. cars is a lock for 230 million too.

Pirates continues to amaze every day. That is a great hold % wise. It will get the 7 day record tomorrow and will at a very minimum get around 63 mil this weekend. I still think this weekend can end up with over 70 mil easy.

Please explain somebody. Why movies tend to drop day by day after (big) OW?

cause people rushed out to see it instead of spreading the viewings out.

Big Blockbusters are more fronloaded than before. People Flock to see them opening weekend and early in the week so the numbers decline each day and than increase at the end of the week going into the weekend.

It's just the result of increasing frontloadedness, DMC has actually had rather good weekday holds. Wednesday vs. Monday for $40m+ openers:

I don't know if anyone has noticed but aside from films that had opening days in the week, and films that carried over their opening weekends into a holiday week, DMC has had the highest daily totals otherwise. Its drops have been excellent considering this. I wouldn't be surprised, no, I'd bet that this gets the 3rd highest 2nd weekend total and has a very good shot at taking the crown.

I'm out of adjectives for Pirates. Great number.

Unbelievable. DMC is going to take the crown for the year in less than two weeks.

The females must really be scrambling for their chick flicks.

I mean, Devil Wears Prada is good, but it's not that good.

and gays

Great for Pirates as always. Yesterday's number was fantastic was well.

This movie truly is a behemoth at the box office. I might see it again this weekend as well. Yay!

This is going to have 260 by Sunday. That is just sick. A miracle is what it will take to keep it out of the 400 mill club now.

260 million by sunday and over 320 million by the sunday afterwards!! NUTS!!

The question can it make 80 million after its 3rd weekend. Its dosen't really look that hard actually. Well this film is going 380 million for sure. Some argue it's grossing near Rots numbers so it can't get higher. However Pirates will have much stronger weekdays and Rots did fall over 55% in its 3rd weekend, so i think pirates can match its total.

It will likely get over taken by Shrek 2 after its 4th weekend.

just 320? itll be at 345!

325 million

30 million daily, 35 million weekend.

I assume Dailies fall 50% from the week before, or is it much different in the Summer?

Here's a cool tidbit:

Johnny Depp has TWO movies in the top twenty on weekdays:

PotC: DMC and Deep Sea 3D.

Go Johnny!

Joy

well i know pirates will get massive weekdays. Most people were not seeing that when they were perdicting under 350 million. Now because of these huge weekdays it will get ahead of Spiderman 2, Rotk and Rots and has a good chane at spiderman.

Well that, and three straight weeks of CG animated films...that won't help Cars either.

Yeah Monster House opening will hurt it. It should still get to 240 and be # 2 movie of the summer, maybe the year if nothing else can pass it. And yeah I agree DMC will pass 400.

it needs to not fall 50% plus after its 2nd weekend. I had 398 million but due to MUCH larger then expected Weekdays it has a strong chance at it.
