Remind me again, what happened to Endgame?

[Buscemi]

Endgame is still opening. However, some theatres probably got out of booking it due to the fact that it's already aired on PBS (it aired on there last Sunday).

Bit low for ACC, good numbers for Goats and FK. Not bad for The Box. PA is going to waltz by the 100m soon too. Not a bad weekend at all.

deadline has the Fourth Kind with a $5M friday and in second place

The real story of the weekend is Precious. It's heading for a $1.8 million weekend, which would be a $100,000 PTA.

And not bad for A Christmas Carol. It should have monstrous legs.

[Geezer]

Holy shit that is huge! And I agree with the monstrous legs of ACC. It will be hanging around for 2 months.

[Buscemi]

Nearly every show of Precious in New York sold out (even with the film playing on multiple screens at all theatres). Even the early matinee and midnight shows sold out. Could this be to the urban crowd what Paranormal Activity was to the horror crowd?

[DylanG]

Yes. I really took a chance with Precious for $11 in Ultimate. Looks like it'll pay off. Men Who Stare at Goats...not so much.

[BanksIsDaFuture]

Wow, $1.8M at only 18 theaters? That's bananas.

[Shrykespeare]

Friday's totals:

1. Christmas Carol - $8.96M
2. Fourth Kind - $5M
3. Men Who Stare at Goats - $4.6M
4. This Is It - $4.15M
T5. The Box - $2.85M
T5. Paranormal Activity -$2.85M

Precious - $585,000 in 18 theaters, for an average of $32,500. Holy hassenpfeffer.

[transformers2]

I agree i took Percious in almost every league. Its looking to be a great pick-up.

[W]

Yeah... but thats not even close to the 1.8 number that was thrown around for Precious.

That's the total for Friday, Geez... You do realize that? $32,000 daily average per theater.
