I wouldn't be surprised to see Rocky approach $7M when the BOM actuals are posted. We know SBD isn't always precise and this did have solid late-night business.

Wow. Dreamgirls had an impressive increase. Pursuit continues to impress and Charlotte's Web is showing some very strong mid-week legs.

What I said on the other thread:

Oops. I edited my post, I mis-read it, I thought it was $20,000, not $4,000. Guess I should pay better attention.

Very good for RB, hopefully it is not very frontloaded.
Pretty bad for letters.

feet continues to own

And on a different note, Little Children is finally doubling its theater count tomorrow.

Business seems a lot stronger than it usually does this time of the year, at least comparing to past years. Maybe I'm wrong.

Either way, a good sign for the next two weeks.

About damn time!

How much increase would the holdovers get during the friday near X-mas?

its busier at my place than it was this same time last year... i think it has alot to do with more "adult" movies in the market, just me though

Good number for Rocky Balboa which could hit $100m, am I wrong?

100 Million Worldwide or Domestically???

Rocky Balboa was down 46% yesterday, to about $3.35M.

phew from notfabio's report I thought it would have been down like 55%. But still its quite frontloaded, hopefully it will have a huge increase

That is pretty much expected. I think it increases by 130% today and that puts it at about 7.8-8 mill for the day. That would put it on pace for about a 20-21 mill weekend.

I think MTC may be slightly exagerrated. I don't think we'll see a nationwide drop of 46%.

3.6ish for yesterday would be my guess.

The numberss are unofficial, definitely, and i would tend to think you are right. It does seem a bit high.

Ill stick for the worst case possibility for now. I cant believe out of all the Plan Bs Im doing, I ended up doing it for Rocky . Im not going to find any more excuses

I swear I blame the weather for yesterdays drop!

is all of the midwest US/Pacific part of Canada getting hammered by snow?

That could play a factor, good point. I may be wrong here, but I believe Regal is somewhat regionalized. They are a conglomerate, but I'm not sure their presence in the northeast (among other areas) is that strong.

Regardless, we'll know SBD within a matter of minutes so the hypothesizing is for naught

Could very well hit it domestically, it should be near or pass 75 million by New Years Day. Too bad its not realeasing WW until February. Even so not bad, for a hasbeen actor beating his dead horse, huh?

I'm guessing it'll gross $5m in foreign release.

Seriously, they shouldn't even bother.
