True, I suppose hardcore fanbases can reverse the trend, at least in the beginning.[/quote]

Bow chicka bow wow.

Ratios using the last updates:

The Simpsons Movie - 4,299, $30,758,269, 139.77
No Reservations - 274, $3,997,589, 68.54
I Know Who Killed Me - 485, $1,327,127, 365.45
Who's Your Caddy? - 270, $952,025, 283.61

Transformers dropped another spot to No. 7 all-time. Nothing between its A- and FOTR's B+ now.

Bourne Ulitmatum 802 (235) A-
Bratz 355 (47) D
El Cantante 132 (39) B-
Hot Rod 138 (18) B-
Underdog 116 (16) B-

Projected Ratios? I'll take a stab, but please correct me if I'm way off.
Bourne 70-80
Bratz 400
El Cantante 250
Hot Rod 110
Underdog 60

The Bourne Ultimatum - 802 (235), A-
BRATZ - 355 (47), D
Hot Rod - 138 (18), B-
Underdog - 116 (16), B-

Bourne should see some increases late, so doubling from this point isn't unlikely. Could be heading to $21-22m.

BRATZ may finish with around 700, and with a low grade and notoriously high ratio for such movie, look for $1.5m.

Hot Rod will see some night crowds too, so could get to 300 and $2.5m.

Underdog will do worst from now on, and 200 reviews will give it $2.5-3m.

so do you think either Underdog or Hot Rod will make the top 5? Before tonight I would have said they both would but it is looking more likely that Hairspray and Potter will remain in the top 5.

Since I expect Hairspray, Potter, and Chuck & Larry all finish above $10m, I'd say Hot Rod has almost no shot unless the night picks up some crazy pace. I could see Underdog have a 60 ratio and good IM to make a run, but not likely either.

Bratz is doing decently. I'm surprised a 4M opening will probably happen.

The Bourne Ultimatum - 889 (244), +87 (+9), A-
BRATZ - 379 (50), +24 (+3), D
Hot Rod - 149 (21), +11 (+3), B-
Underdog - 121 (18), +5 (+2), B-

The Bourne Ultimatum - 997 (265), +108 (+21), A-
BRATZ - 421 (51), +42 (+1), D
Hot Rod - 161 (21), +12 (+0), B-
Underdog - 133 (20), +12 (+2), B-

A very solid grade and pace for Bourne.

30-minute update:

The Bourne Ultimatum - 1037 (276), +40 (+11), A-
BRATZ - 430 (53), +9 (+2), D
Hot Rod - 165 (21), +4 (+0), B-
Underdog - 137 (20), +4 (+0), B-

The Bourne Ultimatum - 1141 (314), +104 (+38), A-
BRATZ - 453 (56), +23 (+3), D
Hot Rod - 176 (23), +11 (+2), B-
Underdog - 145 (24), +8 (+4), B-

$21-23M looks about right for Bourne so far. Hot Rod could be $3.0-3.25M with a 80 ratio. I think Underdog's ratio will be around 60, so I see at least $3.0M for it as well. I wouldn't be surprised with a $1M day for Bratz, given the terrible grade, fake reviews, and low TC.

Ah fake reviews. My favorite

I need Bratz to have a $1.5-2 mil day.

If it's $1 mil... I'm gonna be PISSED.

Final numbers:

The Bourne Ultimatum - 1609 (411), A-
BRATZ - 516 (61), D
Hot Rod - 219 (26), B-
Underdog - 165 (29), B-

Final projections:

The Bourne Ultimatum - really pulled away at night and indicated a lower ratio could be in store. 60-70 gives it $23-26m.
BRATZ - didn't do much late, no improvement on the grade. 400 ratio puts it at $1.3m.
Hot Rod - pretty ordinary the whole day. 110 ratio and $2m.
Underdog - this is where I have trouble seeing FM's projected number. It didn't much early and was practically dead after 5pm PST. $3m would've been pushing it if I project purely based on Yahoo.

Bourne had another 1600 reviews today.

I'm thinking it'll either stay stable or even SLIGHTLY increase...

Bourne seems to be getting great reviews. I'm glad.

HAH!

Called it first. I AM THE KING!

does the BU bring something new to the series apart from the title ? !!!

or is it only Jason bourne running around and jumping through windows all over again ? !!!

to be frank, i hated the first two movies !!! found them quite lame !!!

should i watch this one ? !!!

or pass ? !!!

that is all !!!

I think that's some kind of record. Only 4 posts and already one of the top 5 most annoying posters. Congratulations!

not a personal record to me !!!

but thanks anyway !!!

Couldnt have said it better

who knows !!! maybe you could say it better !!!

I told you DaVinci, why don't you just feel your way around here and be nice. You'll like it here if you let them get to know you, and don't be a dick.
