Glad I added 42 as filler on a lot of my April-June slates.

[Chienfantome]

I think I've put 42 on 90% of my slates. Best move of the season. Plus I have it on the year draft. Thank you Brian Helgeland.

Yeah, I have 42 on every ultimate slate and all of my April-Jun box office slates. I'm pretty pleased with it. Should have great legs with an A+ Cinemascore.

Hope the PTA for The Angel's Share is good enough to warrant putting it on so many ultimate slates. My fingers are crossed. Could be a great weekend if it performs well!

So only 5 PTA for Trance. Bummer.

[empire13]

So, 7,000 PTA for The Angel's Share. Just short of what I needed to feel good about it. Too bad. Not many people had it on their slate. They obviously knew better than me.

Great holds for The Place Beyond the Pines and The Company You Keep. Not too surprised about those numbers.

Trance, on the other hand, was a tremendous let down. Very disappointing, but not that surprising, I guess.

[Chienfantome]

Another PTA point from Simon Killer would be a nice surprise, although we'll have to wait for actual numbers. I've put it on a slate or two to fill up with a cheap price. Another very strong hold from Olympus which is gonna end up just shy off $100M, which is quite amazing.

Strong results from The place beyond the Pines' expansion. This one should turn out an excellent pick for the game if it goes on expanding so smoothly.

[Geezer]

My top 10 most anticipated of the summer:


10. World War Z
9. Iron Man 3
8. Elysium
7. Despicable Me 2
6. Now You See Me
5. The World's End
4. Star Trek Into Darkness
3. Man of Steel
2. This Is The End
1. Kick Ass 2

I'm also looking forward to Gatsby, 2 Guns, Monsters U, R.I.P.D., 300: Rise of an Empire and maybe The Lone Ranger.

I'm mildly wanting to see Gatsby as well, but if they play that Happy Together cover in the actual film I may get up and walk out. That's pretty Damn annoying.
