frontloaded! {nm} mickpix Mar 24, 22:15

Huh? That means Sat is on par with Fri minus midnight; that's not frontloaded at all xiayun Mar 24, 22:20

i was assured by the weekend warrior that it would be frontloaded like a mf'er {nm} mickpix Mar 24, 22:27

Shhhh...don't be mean! {nm} thatpj Mar 24, 22:39

Didn't Alvin teach you anything? {nm} Catzan Mar 25, 01:25

Why would we listen to advice from a chipmunk? {nm} DTravel Mar 25, 12:57

Because he said to be bullish on his first film while others thought "pshaw"... Catzan Mar 25, 17:00

Will be closer to 155M with a 49M Saturday. Even that figure could go higher, considering it's a very early estimate. Lot of extrapolation m051293 Mar 24, 22:20

It continues to mirror The Dark Knight pretty closely; don't expect as miniscule a Sun drop as TDK got, but who knows at this point :) {nm} xiayun Mar 24, 22:26

That's what I've been tracking this against all weekend. I see a Sunday drop of ~20%, but I believe Saturday figure could go higher. {nm} m051293 Mar 24, 22:33

Took another look at it. Friday (minus midnights) and Saturday have basically been 97%of Spidey 3. 22% drop for Sunday looks good, and add m051293 Mar 25, 02:39

At this point, it would not shock me if it over-performs today and catches Dark Knight {nm} Dales Mar 25, 08:53

And my faith paid off in spades! ...now to be greedy can it sneak a little past 150M please? {nm} thatpj Mar 24, 22:39

It's worth to pause again and just re-iterate how incredible this opening is xiayun Mar 24, 22:49

I think Hollywood is to zoned in to much sometimes on the summer for the release of big films. {nm} mrbeankc Mar 25, 01:50

hear hear...spring is the new summer :D {nm} tealfan Mar 25, 02:54

These come along every now and then, no? Passion of the Christ...300...movies that break the rules. Proves time and again...open a movie Catzan Mar 25, 02:00

There are also quite a few private showings booked through the schools in our area. Not sure if that is everywhere. {nm} ryancoke2 Mar 25, 05:10

Nikki updated number. 50M now {nm} m051293 Mar 24, 22:59

It increased from Friday (without midnights)? Absolutely mind-boggling! {nm} thatpj Mar 24, 23:20

If that 50M figure sticks, I have this at 157.2M {nm} m051293 Mar 25, 01:04

Nearly ever penny I have on HSX is tied up in Hunger Games Dales Mar 25, 07:21
