Speaking of Shrek 2, it had a total of $260.3M after the Memorial Weekend, so ROTS is still heading for $400M+, it's drop next weekend will detemine if the (in)famous $470M club will prevail. $470 million is already unachievable. $400 million is still possible if it had a great hold under 50% next weekend. It all depends on the weekdays really. If it can make $5-6M everyday this week it'll be at $300M by next Friday (maybe Saturday). The more schools that let out, the higher weekdays will be.

It does not need a sub-50% drop to cross $400m, it could have slightly worse drops than AOTC from here on out and still clear that milestone.

That's so awesome! all of the openers did amazing. Also very good drop for Monster-in-Law. I'm still very surprising about The Longest Yard's number.

I think every film in the top 3 did remarkably well. 3 filsm with about 50 mill is quite astonishing.

Hmmm, very interesting. Sith 50% drop is actually really good. Alot of top weekend winners have been losing more than that even without such high screen count and pre-release ticket ordering. Hitchhiker's etc.
The other holds that really stand out for me are Interpreter, and Monster-in-Law.
I can't believe Yard was so successful. I expected it to trail the family friendly Madagascar and the big Sith by alot, and it grossed as much as both of them instead!

Great for both of the openers, watched both and are entertaining. Memorial Day weekend is always great for the Box Office.
I think that Madagascar's Sunday is a little wierd because it decreased way too much, even more than the longest yard.

With these weekend numbers, I think RotS will end its run with about $390M. That is mighty impressive. :o

It would require over $220M WW to see profit. Since this American Football comedy will not make much money overseas, it won't be profitable till DVD revenues are accounted for. Are you kiding me? This is getting great WOM, I think that the domestic total will be about double it's budget.
As always, this sort of broad comedy was underestimated. Y'know, it actually was only 52% male from exit polling, so I really wouldn't be surprised if it had some damn good legs.
