SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 7/29/11

[Buscemi]

Reportedly, The Smurfs was beating Cowboys and Aliens in the East Coast. And Cowboys and Aliens made just $300,000 at midnight.

[Buscemi]

It's now at $45 million for Cowboys and Aliens, $32 million for The Smurfs and $19 million for Crazy Stupid Love.

[Chienfantome]

$45 million would be good enough for me !

[Buscemi]

And The Hollywood Reporter has a surprising projection:

Cowboys and Aliens $38 million (down from $45 million after a $13.5 million Friday)
The Smurfs $38 million (up from $32 million after a $13 million Friday)
Captain America $25 million ($7.5 million Friday, surprisingly heavy drop but its weekdays were strong)
Crazy Stupid Love $19 million
