Nice for Lemony Snicket's, Ocean's Twelve and The Polar Express, though Lemony was the only movie to drop yesterday.

bad for Lemony

Great for The Polar Express and others

Very poor for Lemony Snickets

Another 20% increase for The Polar Express. It can hit 3M on Thursday.

Doesn't look good at all for Lemony Snicket, especially when all the other kid movies increased at least 10%. It's probably too dark for the holiday.

Maybe, because I have heard people say that they thought that it was too dark for a kids movie. Anyways, I doubt it will pass 140m now, my prediction is 120-134m

I'm disappointed by Lemony Snicket.

On the other hand, The Polar Express is still performing wonderfully. It's only $400,000 behind Ocean's Twelve, which is mightily impressive.

Also, Christmas with the Kranks has quietly been a durable peformer this holiday season. It looks as though it might challenge $90M, which is very impressive.

Miss LOTR...

Hey Nazgul9, didn't notice you're here as well! Welcome.

why is that bad for Lemony?!, it only drop 4% and its a new movie!

that great for lemony!!

It's a good number, but the fact that it dropped when every other movie (including the other openers) increased.

i know its a good number! it still doing over $4M that pretty good 8)
but i believe there going to be a bigger drop today! numbers

From the very beginning, just didn't post anything. I'm more of a lurker.

Oh and thanks for the welcome. Glad i end up here.

I find it funny that LS was the only movie to drop as the weekdays before Xmas are always days kids movies do great...oh well lol

well ROTK dropped by 8% on this day last year so I see no big deal. It's still making money, and will pass $150M.

Eh, it's really a bit early to be sounding the death knell for LS don't you think? Everything will be a bit wonky till Christmas, and this is its first week.

Great for The Polar Express, seriously. It'll have over $133 million before Christmas Eve and that is amazing!

Blade: Trinity will most likely pass $50 million by the end of its run, but that's mostly thanks to the holiday season.

Closer is actually doing pretty well right now. I see it passing $30 million now for sure.

Hopefully Blade can pass $50M....and hopefully the $100M mark worldwide.
