so in your opinion, what film has most exceeded expectations to this point?

I think Despicable Me has to be in the running at 250M domestic, that is just insanity and nobody was expecting it to be that big.

Agreed. Alice in Wonderland, Karate Kid, and Jackass all deserve to be mentioned, but it's not even close this year. Jelly Nov 21, 19:13

"The Town" at just below $91M, or "The kids are alright," just below $21M. {nm} second gary Nov 21, 19:17

Despicable Me would take my top spot as well; also impressed with Alice in Wonderland, The Karate Kid, and Grown Ups {nm} FRDIRfund Nov 21, 19:14

I'm including the approximate amount I expected each movie to make in parentheses afterwards: Despicable Me ($85MM), Grown Ups ($70MM), GMov Nov 21, 19:15

I think most of the ones mentioned did better than expected but yeah, Despicable Me is a shocker. secretstalker Nov 21, 19:20
