Visiting DL is a travesty, what with all the audio ads running simultaneously. Is it ok if I copy some text from the article into the IM.. ?
"Now a film on the other end of the spectrum, Clint Eastwood‘s Jersey Boys which saw a denouement as it became clear that it was playing older than previously imagined and did pretty much no business later into the late night. That pushed its cume down to the $13.8M to $14M+ range after looking it might play to high-teens earlier in the day. That’s a rough break for Eastwood as the budget was said to be around $38M.
22 Jump Street is a solid No. 2 in its second frame for Sony/MGM, dropping about 47% to take in anywhere from $30M to $32M for the three-day (more like $30M by all accounts, except for Sony which has it higher). Fox/DreamWorks Animation’sHow to Train Your Dragon 2 will come in No. 3 with a 47% dip in its second weekend for a cume expected around $25M to $26.2M. Where 22 will pass $100M today, Dragon 2‘s total cume after this weekend will be just shy of that at $96M+. Also noteworthy: Jon Favreau’s Chef is still holding up pretty well at No. 10 for Open Road. Here’s what the chart looks like right now:
1). Think Like A Man Too (SONY), 2,225 theaters / $12.17M Fri. / 3-day est. cume: $32M to $33M / Wk 1
2). 22 Jump Street (SONY), 3,306 theaters (0) / $9.35M Fri. / 3-day cume: $30M to $32M (-47%) / Total est. cume: $111M to $112M / Wk 2
3). How to Train Your Dragon 2 (FOX), 4,268 theaters (+15) / $7.6M Fri. / 3-day cume: $25M to $26.2M / Total cume: $94.6M to 95M+ / Wk 2
4). Jersey Boys (WB) 2,905 theaters / $4.6M Fri. / 3-day cume: $13.8M to $14.4M / Wk 1
5). Maleficent (DIS), 3,450 theaters (-173) / $3.96M Fri. / 3-day cume: $12.7M (-32%) / Total expected cume: $185.6M / Wk 4

7). The Fault In Our Stars (FOX), 3,340 theaters (+67) / $3.095M Fri. / 3-day cume: $8.6M to $9M (-42%) / Total cume: $98.7M to $99M / Wk 3
8). X-Men: Days of Future Past (FOX), 2,681 theaters (-361) / $1.79M Fri. / 3-day cume: $6M (-39%) / Total cume: $216.6M / Wk 5
9). Godzilla (WB), 2,088 theaters (-1,022) / $530K Fri. / 3-day cume: $1.8M (-46%) / Total cume: $194.9M / Wk 6
10). Chef (OPRD), 961 theaters (-141) / $480K Fri. / 3-day cume: $1.77M (-21%) / Total cume: $16.8M / Wk 7
As it stands tonight, Sony will, indeed, capture the No. 1 and No. 2 box office spots with its two sequels this weekend: Think Like A Man Too is pulling in about $11.5M Friday for a three-day of around $32M to $33M followed by and its holdover 22 Jump Street which is on track to gross around $29M to $30M), dropping roughly 50% in its sophomore frame. This would mark the second time this year that a director had two pics opening to No. 1"

Copyright-wise, I'd say not, since the post is one giant quote from DL.. Jun 22, 08:09
I concede the point - although, of course, I post the quote under another post that does link to the article. {nm} Jun 22, 09:09
(Note: Passes for weekend cume on the third weekend alone - regarding cume, Fault is still way ahead, of course.) {nm} Jun 22, 09:29
