SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 1/18/13

[Chienfantome]

I stayed away from all the films from this weekend, because I couldn't quite figure out how it would turn out. Too bad for Mama, glad for The Last Stand and Broken City.

Note: Because Storage 24 and Hors Satan seem to not be reporting their income, I will have Mario remove them from the game, so that those few players who chose them can replace them.

As of Monday, Life of Pi broke the $100M mark, making it the 29th blockbuster of 2012. Rise of the Guardians will doubtless make it #30 this week, which would tie 2012 with 2011. Who knows, maybe Zero Dark Thirty can make it 31...

And also, Skyfall became the fourth film of 2012 to crack $300M (the other three all broke $400M).
