But NOTEBOOK only opened to $13.5m! Let's not forget that Sparks also did WALK TO REMEMBER ($12.3--and probably more comparable)

and NIGHTS IN RODANTHE ($13.4m), which of course skewed older.

You might argue that the dynamics are changing and movies are becoming more frontloaded, meaning if NOTEBOOK was released today, more of its $80+m intake would've been upfront. But I think WALK is a better comparison anyway because it skewed younger like DEAR JOHN, whereas NOTEBOOK ran the gambit.

Heh... You don't say.. :-)) {nm} Facto Feb 01, 16:09

If that # holds...could be battle for #1 next week. A 20% dip for AVATR puts in at that number. Oscar Noms. could mean difference. {nm} tonyj1 Feb 01, 11:10

turns out avatar was underestimated again, drop was only 10% this wknd! islander Feb 01, 12:03
