From the theater reports, I was quite certain Coach Carter is getting more than estimated 2000+ theaters.

That's great for all three openers.

Impressive for Elektra. Good for Coach Carter. I think it's gonna be a close race.

All updated. Huge loss for The Polar Express. All kids movies lost a lot. Birth basically had one week expansion.

They still have not updated House of Flying Daggers. :???:

I'm not suprised by TPE; its run is basically over. It should drop over 85% this weekend.

I still am puzzled as to why Birth expanded.

Nice for Elektra! Too much for Racing Stripes!!!

Sony Picture hasn't given TC information for HOFD in any weeks. I don't know why.

Expected for The Polar Express. It might not pass Shark Tale!
What was the point of the Birth re-expansion, pretty much every theater took it out except 17!

wow, thats terrible for Polar

Elektra will be helped by the big theatre count, certainly.

Terrible, but unfortunately expected for The Polar Express. Should fall 80% over the weekend.

A Very Long Engagement is expanding too slowly. It's almost too late for this movie.

Birth is laughable.

Overall, we have only 6 movies with 2,500+ theatres. That's rather unusual.

Waste of seats on these openers!!

Nice to see these expanding, MTF, still? Aviator \:D/ im glad!!! HotFD, looks brill so im glad its addding :wink:

TPE is losing a massive amount of theaters. Most likely will suffer at least a 75-80% drop this weekend.
