Anyway, I strongly doubt that number of Monster-In-Law, we might have Sin City situation again.

Brief comments: good for MIL, pretty aweful for Unleashed.

Quite good for Monster-in-Law. Spillover business from Episode III could be potentially enormous, and this attracts a different audience anyway, so I'm not ruling out a drop near 30% for the weekend.

Terrible for Unleashed, which is almost certain to fall off the face of the earth starting tomorrow. Focus really dropped the ball on releasing this in May.

I'm ruling it out. :razz: I think Monster-in-Law and Crash will escape the revenge better than anybody else, but I don't expect them to not get hit. It definitely looks like Monster-in-Law has some really good WOM, though. Not surprising.

Nice for Monster-in-Law. I'm still thinking a drop between 35-40% is in order, though.

FYI, how the opening days of other huge non-Friday summer openers affected the rest of top 10:

The Phantom Menace - http://www.the-numbers.com/charts/daily ... 90519.html

Attack of the Clones - http://www.the-numbers.com/charts/daily ... 20516.html

Matrix Reloaded - http://www.the-numbers.com/charts/daily ... 30515.html

Spider-Man 2 - http://www.the-numbers.com/charts/daily ... 40630.html

HOW is only down about 43% from last tuesday. Not too bad

MovieDude, about Unleashed.....:wink:

Nice for Monster-In-Law.

A surprising increase for Monster-In-Law. I'm thinking around a 175% Friday increase right now. That would put it at $13.7 for the weekend for a 41% drop. Let's hope for better.

I also expect Wednesday numbers to be hit quite hard as well since the audience for the evening is mostly gone. They were all waiting in lines for Sith's midnight showings.
