Looks like weekdays will help Dukes a bit. And March of the Penguins finally entered top 5.

VERY nice drop for Dukes..

Some sort of Holiday???

I don't think it's a holiday effect, as the holdovers drop are pretty normal.

Great hold for Charlie!

Wow, that's actually a great drop for The Dukes of Hazzard.

Wedding Crashers dropped about the same amount on its first monday (-48.1% to be exact).

Well, if DUKES has nice drops through the week, and a (doubtful) weekend drop under 50%....it COULD pass $100M eventually.

Dukes is ahead of AVP's Monday after being down by 8M for the weekend. We'll still need to wait for the rest of the week to unfold though, since this indicates it will have a smaller Friday increase, so if it can't hold much better than AVP did Tuesday-to-Thursday, it will still have trouble avoiding a 60% drop.

Monday to Monday Drops.

Wedding Crashers: -33.7%
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory -34.4%
Sky High: -41.2%
March of the Penguins: +72.7%
Must Love Dogs: -40.2%
Stealth: -53.3%
Fantastic Four:-40.7%
The Island: -50.6%
War of the Worlds: -38.1%


Stealth and Island typically the worst....

Yeah thats actually pretty damn good for Dukes.

If Dukes follows the same exact pattern as AVP for the rest of the week (including increases/drops for the weekend), it'll still make $13.1 million for the weekend.

Considering that the Monday drop is already 10% better than AVP's, it could just drop about 50-55% this weekend.

Now Wedding Crashers finally starts to get bigger drops, it wont pass 200m. The drops will get bigger and bigger because everyone who wanted to see it saw it, it'll probably be close to 200m though.

It might actually have a chance to take its 2nd weekend in a hold...

great drop for charlie!

Good number for dukes,its not going to have as bad of a drop this weekend as people think.
WC is slowing down a bit but still doing very good and is CATCF.

It looks like Wedding Crashers may make under 12 million next week and be the first time it dropped over 25% next week

It will be b/w 25% to 30% this coming weekend due to lots of new movies.

Further, WC will have to fall 40% each week to not pass $200M. I think it will get there by 9/2 or 9/9.

Even if Wedding Crashers has a weekly drop of 30% for the remainder of its run, it'll still make $200 million total.

Charlie has the smallest drop in the top 10!

WC gained most of it's ground on Charlie from its fantastic weekend holds, but during the week it acts pretty normal. So this doesn't surprise me. It could still have a 20% drop on its weekend, but I think it's more realistic to look at a somewhat bigger one. I still think it will hit $200 mil, and as someone else pointed out this morning, 2 movies opening the same weekend and hitting $200 mil is pretty cool, especially in a summer full of disappointments. Even more remarkable, most people thought neither of these movies would do that goood.

I think at this point WC is pretty much a lock for 200 mill.

Anybody think Charlie could get to 200. Batman is just a few million from hitting 200 Million good for it.

I bet you were the brightest one in your math class

Interestingly strong hold for D'OH!

Hm, not bad for The Dukes of Hazzard, but I expect continuous drops of around 10% each day on averge till the weekend arrives and the Friday increase really shouldn't be very big considering that Deuce Bigalow 2 is direct competition. I expect a Friday increase of around 55%.

As for the weekend...something around $14-14.5 million should be right (a drop of around 53-55%).


By the way, all the big bombs aside (The Island, Stealth) I am still a bit surprised by how unspectacularly Bad News Bears has performed. It looks to finish just around $35 million and it had more going for it than Kicking and Screaming for instance (the PG rating aside).

March of the Penguins will probably hit 2,000 theatres this weekend and drop less than 15%.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as well as The Wedding Crashers are both locks for $200 million. Charlie will struggle, but the studio will push it past the mark with an additional push over the Labor's Day weekend, I suppose.

Worse weekly hold by Sky High than expected...
