So PIB barely dropped at all. Wow. -3% That is nothing. Amazing.

[Algren]

DH2, what a fail.

[Heretic]

Potter INCREASED

[baumer]

Big decreases for the two openers. Not good at all.

[ecstasy]

I'm gonna have to give a shout out to Footloose. -19% drop.

It is showing some very good staying power.

[junkshop36]

I'm glad to see Real Steel hanging in there pretty well. I thought it was a good movie.

[tupek]

Oh, please, puss in buts, fall hard next weekend.

[kayumanggames]

ZOOKEEPER no more? LOL.

[Algren]

Zookeeper no more, I know, it's devastating.

[kayumanggames]

Yeah, that's sad.

[themark]

Great for Puss In Boots. Sucky for the two openers.

[creolepaladin]

So what kind of drop is everyone expecting? I'm thinking 30%.

Random thing to bring up but considering how ridiculously popular cats are on the internet, how come there hasn't been at least a rise in cat-centric movies? You'd think that'd be the next trend...

[tribefan695]

Internet fads don't translate to box office success

You might have a point there. Pixar's lolcatz $500M DOM $1.2B WW

[cheesypoofs]

Ouch for the openers after what their estimates were.

[forg]

Crazy Stupid Love is chugging along. I wish it had a bigger opening weekend so it had a shot for 100 mil but 84 mil is pretty good anyway

Footlose after an underwhelming start is holding up well same with 50/50.

I hope Real Steel can make it to 100 mil but I think it will fall short and end up with 90m good thing the overseas numbers are great

I was hoping Lion King 3D will cross 100 mil but still 90m+ is pretty fantastic for a rerelease
