The Counselor - 3.2 Friday RazorHawk Oct 26, 07:52

12SLV 0.62M Friday / 1.88M Total / 123 Locations / 5,041 Location Avg --- that's 65% drop per location Fri avg. vs. last Friday Oleg Max Oct 26, 08:04

Fri-Fri % drop in line with Precious (67%) but total gross so far on the other hand.... thatpj Oct 26, 09:09

What about the Fri.-Fri drop with Silver Linings as a comparison ? Seems to fit the release pattern and target Audience more than Precious tatoufan Oct 26, 09:23

Silver Linings Fri over Fri avg drop was just 41%... not that comparable... {nm} Oleg Max Oct 26, 09:30

Also, SVLPB opened the weekend before Thanksgiving and expanded much wider (367) the day before Thanksgiving, it's first Wed. {nm} Paul2k Oct 26, 09:35

The target audience for Precious seems closer to 12SLV than SLINB (sorry about the wrong ticker). SLINB had elements of humor and was about Paul2k Oct 26, 09:39

I see your point Pau2k, but I don't think that the intended target for 12SLV, seems to be more geared towards whitey imo. Perhaps Django? {nm} tatoufan Oct 26, 10:31

I'm drawing my conclusion from the box office report article on Indiewire last weekend which mentions how 12SLV opened in Chi, DC, ATL, and Paul2k Oct 26, 11:08

Indiewire again, seeing if Django is a good comp for 12SLV. Paul2k Oct 26, 11:11

SLINB was sold as a touching comedy, far different than 12SLV and Precious. {nm} Antibody Oct 27, 11:29

A few factors to look at...Precious and 12SLV started in 18 and 19 theaters their first weekends. Precious then expanded to 174 while 12SLV Paul2k Oct 26, 09:33

Fair enough, I just see it expanding more than Precious did. We shall see, gl. {nm} tatoufan Oct 26, 10:40

I feel like I've been picking on you tatoufan, and I didn't mean to. :) I too had a feeling that 12SLV might try to capitalize on the fest Paul2k Oct 26, 19:17
