Deadline projections:
Captain America $66 M
Harry Potter $50+ M
Friends With Benefits $20 M

It would make Cap barely bigger than Thor (with better midnights as well) and Friends barely better than No Strings Attached (each by $.3M).
Tenet: Criterion Edition. Now with more Backwards Man.

Damn, should have had Sarah's Key in more leagues. Especially when Project Nim underperformed so much. WW2 always trumps nature!

Dammit. With that opening I think I've lost another chance of finally breaking my four year plus losing streak... Happy I picked up Sarah's Key for a few slates though, and Horrible Bosses is holding well.

I'm glad with last week-end's numbers. I had Captain America, Sarah's Key and Another Earth on a bunch of slates, and they all performed as I wished they would. Great !
