I think top 10 8th wknd will happen, nfl playoffs in full gear, college wrapping it up a sub 30% drop would not be surprising.

Seeing the record I guess Top 10 8th weekend is broken for sure. But the real thing is how much far in Top 10 will it go.

Simply amazing!!

I'm not surprised this movie is exploding.

You get the women into the theater, because its a family drama/has Sandra Bullock

You get the men in the theater, because its football season, its a true football story.

Bam Instant success.

Looking at those "Top Grossing Movies in Their #th Week" charts really, really, really shows just how impressive Blind Side's run is.

For the 7th weekend, the only films since Titanic that made it into the Top 10 were the very leggy Sixth Sense, Harry Potter which had a) a bigger start and b) a new year's boost like Blind Side did, MBFGW which had a much slower build up, and a Easter boosted Passion of the Christ.

If it makes the top 10 next weekend (and it almost definitely will), Titanic, Sixth Sense, MBFGW There's Something About Mary (slower start, leggy run, holiday boost) will be the only ones since 1994 that are in the top 10.

Easily the best run of the year, and an actual candidate for best run of the decade depending on how far it goes.

I think it'll get into the Top 10 for the eight weekend but no chance at all for the 9th.

Hmm, #13 9th weekend of all-time.

Should make it into the Top 20 of biggest 9th weekends as well.

Hmmm now we see a decline from Top 10 to Top 20. But seriously this is THE BEST run of the year. Simply Amazing!!

I'm pushing my expectations for this now to $260 m +. The Ravens are doing quite well and this film hasn't even really seen an awards bump up yet. It probably could have done $250 m even without an Oscar nod, as its headed around that total anyhow.

A weak film slate is helping it out immensely as well. I do wonder what type of bump up this will get though, from an Oscar nod. It's already huge.

Yeah, $260 is now the new minimum. Critics' Choice and very likely a Golden Globe for Sandra this weekend will result for a great week ahead plus a great hold next weekend. SAG and Oscar will only keep this little engine going...

Finally saw the movie last night and it deserves every single penny it makes. I even enjoyed the football parts! lol

I dunno...even the Best Actor Oscar for Sean Penn hasn't helped Milk that much (and that was not a film that already has been seen by masses).

I think with the legs it is has shown a lot of people would have already seen it by now. It has to start decline now specially from the Top10 or Top12 maybe. It will still make 260M or some thing near that amount which is simply amazing!!

No one likes Sean Penn, that's why Dr. Lecter..

It is starting to lose quite a bunch of theatres now, hmm. I don't see more than $250 million happening.

Not to say "I told you so, but..." To be fair, though, I never said that it would be nominated for BEST PICTURE.

THE BLIND SIDE has been nominated for BEST PICTURE at the Oscars, and Sandra Bullock is nominated for Best Actress.

Oh my, oh my.

It's definitely making $265+ million now.

I wonder what its shot is at passing The Hangover's total.

hey its going to beat Star Trek

What a run. Its BP nom will only help me add insanity to its run.

It could hit the multiplier of 8...hmm.

So how many weeks can The Blind Side stay in the top 12, 15 and top 20?

It's had 11 weeks in the top 11.

It has a best picture and best actress nod now, with what looks like a best actress win. The weekend after the Oscars is 6 weekends from now. If The Blind Side stays in the top 15 until then, it will have seen 17 WEEKS there.

How long do you think The Blind Side can remain in the top 15? Can it really get 17 weeks there? There are only 8 February openers (non-expanders) so there's certainly room for it to stay around...

Hmm, I'm surprised it didn't add any theatres this weekend, but it'll probably add some next.

It had a good hold considering it didn't add any theatres and was affected by the Super Bowl. I expect a 20% rise over the four-day weekend and then a solid play into March. It should reexpand to 1,200+ theatres once it wins Best Actress. Then around $262-265 million will happen, but probably not much more.

It now spent its 13th week in the Top 12. That's longer than The Hangover or The Dark Knight stayed in the Top 12. Currently, it is #57 on the domestic al-time list, but if it wins Best Actress (which I think will happen), it should enter the Top 50 and maybe even surpass Star Trek.

I'm still not sold on $260 million, though. It will simply be losing theatres too fast.

Actually there aren't many wide releases in the coming weekends even including Alice which will take hold majorly 3D screens and thus I think so it has chance to do well till post-Oscars sometime by the end of March. This all will be true if it magically wins and stays close to that Top 12 in the coming weekends. I see that the next weekend will have Edge, Rome, Paris fall hard and thus it can still stay in the Top 12 next week as well

With the DVD coming out soon and the movie losing theatres, I don't think it will hit $260 million. It is, however, interesting to see whether it can beat Star Trek. I think it will, even if only barely.


Its opening-to-total multiplier is currently at 7.25 and should be above 7.5 by the end of its run. Which certainly warrants a "HOLY SHIT"

Amazing amazing run. What a surprise run. Its one of the rare times I had no idea what the film was about until its OW. So for it to do so well sure was a shock.

BTW - it opened here last weekend and performed dismally - the equal of a sub $5m OW in NA!
