Unprecedented

The numbers are what they are. It's certainly possible for this upcoming weekend to shatter records, but it's hard to imagine a $180 million dollar, non-holiday, non-summer weekend for the top five movies. Some of the releases might make their money over time, if they have legs, but it would be unprecedented for that amount of money to be made in a single weekend pre-Thanksgiving.

Thanks! {nm} vegasrebel Nov 15, 13:45

Glad Blindside went up. Now will tracking go 5 for 5? Wrong for: Saw, TII, ACC, 2012, will the next be New Moon? {nm} Mattrek Nov 15, 15:09

Thanks! Gonna be a busy weekend! {nm} Catzan Nov 15, 15:48

Record breaker Yellowsuit Nov 15, 16:20

You may be onto something, but at the same time, we've been talking for weeks now about how there seems to be pent up demand.. {nm} Facto Nov 15, 20:30

But then again, the second installment of the "Twilight" behemoth brand has never been released before, never mind what type of weekend... {nm} Facto Nov 15, 20:53

I hear ya {nm} Facto Nov 15, 21:11

I'm thinking Precious may be tracking too high? Teenage girls/women who'd see it for Mo'nique/Carey, will be seeing Twilight Facto Nov 15, 20:58

Leftovers Yellowsuit Nov 15, 21:15

Agreed. {nm} Facto Nov 15, 21:26

interesting thread... Somerset Nov 15, 23:15

I'm still not seeing this massive turn-out for Precious. What is it about it? Great soundtrack, or something? A fat ghetto girl gets Facto Nov 15, 23:31

Well, I think there are plenty of folks who will turn out for Precious. The problem will not be attendance...but seats for that attendance. Catzan Nov 16, 00:30

A very well written and well argued post, but only time will tell what's what.. Pent up demand suggests we may head for a record breaker WE. {nm} Facto Nov 16, 01:05

Thanks. Somerset Nov 15, 19:53

Thanks. HPOT4's non-summer opening weekend record (102.7M) is definitely in play. {nm} Jelly Nov 15, 20:05

When can we expect tracking for The Princess and the Frog (FROGP)? {nm} HurriKaty Nov 16, 09:59
