[movies35]

I just got the numbers and you beat me to it Horror Whore.

[Mike]

Willard opened just a tad better than my predictions. It looks like it might be able to make about 3.9 Million for the weekend.

Here's what I predicted for Willard:

Friday - 1.1 Million
Saturday - 1.6 Million
Sunday - 0.8

Total - 3.5 Million


Agent Cody Banks opened worst than I expected, especially since it had such a high theater count. But it will definitely get a big boost on Saturday, just like most family-oriented movies.

Here's what I predicted for Agent Cody Banks:

Friday - 5.2 Million
Saturday - 8.1 Million
Sunday - 5.7 Million

Total - 19 Million


The Hunted wasn't too far away from what I predicted. And with the "not so great" Cinema Scores, it will probably end its B.O. run with about 35 Million or so.

Here's what I predicted for The Hunted:

Friday - 3.9 Million
Saturday - 5.1 Million
Sunday - 3.1 Million

Total - 12.1 Million


It doesn't look like my predictions for The Hunted will make me a winner at Lee's Movie Info, but oh well, maybe next time ;).

Overall, there's not really any real surprises. Everything looks to gross around what I figured.

Bend It Like Beckham did well on Friday, grossing $41,000 in 6 theaters for a PSA of of $6,833. It opened on Wednesday and has posted strong numbers all week. I just have this gut feeling it's going to be a sleeper hit. It could be this years My Big Fat Greek Wedding ;).

[dh1989]

Suprising numbers! "Agent Cody Banks" will see a boost on Saturday, but it still won't make that much cash, which is proof Frankie Muniz is not a big draw! "The Hunted" performed below expectations, but will do okay. "Willard" tanked. No suprise. It'll have a drop today and tommorow, but'll find its audience on video!

LOL! :)

Also, I anticipated "Willard" to open in the range of 2-3 million, so it opened a bit larger than I expected. Good news, considering it rocked.

[EDsoulsurvive*]

poor Willard, from what i've neard, this movie was very good, too bad bout it's weekend gross...

The only other thing worth commenting on is BDTH. HS!! This had HUGE staying power!!! IT's that DAMN QUEEN LATIFAH I TELL U!!! When she becomes the next person to hav her face add to the Washington Monument, don't say i didn't warn u!!!! LOL :p

[XCoRyX]

i would have loved to see willard be a bit more sucessful,oh well hopefully it indeed will find its audience on video shelves,im still shocked it got a theatrical release in the first place,atleast i got to see it on the big screen,the movie was great.
