It might open at over $180 million, if Fandango reports are any indication.

You expect it to make that little?

probably but I am sticking with that number. I think some people are going way to high...170 and $180 numbers seem way too high to me

People are busier now this week I would think and there is a tad more competition as well.

I think Hunger Games will be more than fine at that number even if accurate.


The Real YIKES needs to said regarding The Delivery Man.

Is it over for Vaughn? I dont see how anyone would give him another big payday for a sure to be comedy disappointment.

The movie will be huge through out next week as well because of the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm not seeing it until next Wednesday

and wow, BEst Man beat Delivery Man Best Man is a huge surprise hit. $50 million already.

[Batman1980]

I just think it's amusing Catching Fire smashed everything else so thoroughly, the power of Suzanne Collins and Jennifer Lawrence in action. American Hustle and Out of the Furnace are the last two films this year I want to see, I believe.

My favorite news this weekend:
That filth that is The Xmas Candle flopped really bad and got terrible reviews.
They need to stop releasing this scum in theaters

I forgot about Thanksgiving. Hopefully this one has slightly stronger legs than the first and can match the first's domestic haul or even make a few million more.
