Not many tracking news for X-mas releases... Here's an estimate posted on "The wrap" gardavou Dec 24, 12:53

RS - [LESMS] mid 20's on its way to 130, [DJANG] low 30's on it way to 120, [PGUID] mid teens {nm} Moviesnob Dec 24, 14:35

Thanks. I hate midweek openers... :) {nm} slappydavid Dec 24, 14:49

is that for Tues - Sun or Fri - Sun? {nm} RazorHawk Dec 24, 14:55

doesnt say, but the piece starts with the sentence "On Christmas Day, three more films hit the multiplexes." {nm} Moviesnob Dec 24, 15:16

I'm assuming Fri-Sun. LESMS and DJANG would have a hard time getting to $100m if ~$30m is the six day {nm} RogerMore Dec 24, 16:15

I have a hard time imagining Django opening bigger than Les Misérables, considering advance ticket sales and Django's very hard R-rating.. gardavou Dec 24, 15:47

Tarantino has a following. elchan Dec 24, 15:55

I understand, and I expect the movie to have good legs too... I just dont see an R-rated western take first place over a musical for X-mas.. gardavou Dec 24, 16:16

and the last musical that kicked a$$ at christmas was? {nm} click999 Dec 24, 16:32

basterds was a summer release... Wasnt it? An example of december western release would be True grit, which, with a softer pg-13 rating.... gardavou Dec 24, 16:39

sounds like you've got it all figured out. {nm} click999 Dec 24, 16:53

With everyone off school and most off work, this weekend will be like a summer weekend. {nm} Antibody Dec 24, 17:15

Know a lot of folk that want to see it but 3 hrs sitting in a movie theatre is not an option for some. {nm} grammar Dec 24, 16:31

the Broadway version is nice and gives you a halftime to stretch your legs, use the restroom, get a coctail (alcoholic beverage) {nm} RazorHawk Dec 24, 16:44

BSTRD opened at $38M. Only one musical beat that and it was a teen-targeted TV show. Antibody Dec 24, 16:05

Yes, but Ingl B. was a WW2 movie, which appealed to a wider group than a "Southern" that pokes violent fun on Southerners and their ways. BSmurf Dec 24, 16:18

The Afro-Am audience should make up for it. {nm} Antibody Dec 24, 16:43

gardavou, you are completely wrong about... {nm} bloopster Dec 24, 17:14
