SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 5/7

[J.I.]

Its still a good opening though. I think it will have a big enough Sunday to beat Dead Man's Chest's $135.6 million which would be good enough for the 4th biggest opening ever. And with an A on Cinemascore and all the good word of mouth I've been hearing, I think we should still see a monster total above $350 million.

Though not a huge deal, Babies managed nearly half of its weekend gross on Sunday and beat weekend estimates by $600,000.
