SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 11/9

[Buscemi]

Lincoln is looking at an $825,000 weekend in just 11 theatres. Not the $100,000 PTA I predicted (when I made that prediction, I thought it was opening in just 3 theatres) but still impressive.

I'm amazed.

As am I. Last night when I saw Flight, Skyfall had sold out every show from 7 to 10 at my local theater (about 5 or 6 showings).

Well, Skyfall did break records as it did in Europe

Geezer has misjudged the mainstream public. His reign of FM terror is over. Revolution!

[Geezer]

Yup, my reign is over. I only anticipated 65 million. Quite off there.

[Shrykespeare]

BOM updated their list. No PTA points for Starlet.
