White Noise dropped about 5% on its first Tuesday. I'm thinking Hide and Seek is going to have a very high second weekend drop, partially because of bad WOM and direct competition from Boogeyman.

Pretty standard for all other films. This should be a pretty normal weekend, with a small effect by the Superbowl.

THE AVIATOR -17.8%
ARE WE THERE YET? -34.9%
MEET THE FOCKERS -37%
COACH CARTER -41.5%
IN GOOD COMPANY -36.7%
ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 -44.5%
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA -27.3%
RACING STRIPES -25.1%
HOTEL RWANDA -3.1%

Look at that increase for In Good Company!

I expected better from H&S considering the Saturday increase it had.

Superbowl will have a big effect on Sunday, with most films dropping over 60% that day. If you look like last year's data for this week, you will see that pretty much all the films added 10% more to their drops comparing to weekdays, so if a film is dropping 30% from last week, it's likely that it will drop 40% for the weekend.

Million Dollar Baby is doing a million dollar a day and could grab No. 1 on Thursday.

WOM and Oscar buzz continues to look strong for Million Dollar Baby!

I'm kind of surprised Alone in the Dark only fell .9%.

Why isn't Alone in the Dark falling 99%!?!?! :razz:

Because not enough people have seen it to spread bad WOM, as evidenced by my viewing earlier today when I was "alone in the dark".

Hehe, wouldn't it be HILLARIOUS if Dark fell less next weekend then Hide and Seek?

Over $37M total this weekend for HIDE AND SEEK, hopefully.

Eeeew no, M$B might be number 1 tomorrow.

that is true but I have looked at a lot of films and most, Im saying films that were not nominated for an oscar, fell at most 5% more than the wknd before because they would make up the moeny they were going to lose on sunday by having larger than there aver friday and saturday increases so I think that the films will not be as affected as some or most think.

Million Dollar Baby is doing great numbers and should be #1 for Wednesday or Thursday (or both). It'll cross $70 million by the end of its run, that's for sure.

The Aviator will break $70 million before the weekend. At the moment, it's a pretty sure bet to break $100 million. It'll depend on the Oscars how far beyond that it'll go. I think that $115 million is within reach if it wins Best Picture.

The Phantom of the Opera will cross $40 million by the weekend. The movie's having a really leggy run.
