Weekend Box Office by Klady – P-Froggy
The estimates for the weekend all seem to have that holiday feeling, every one, from the top frog to #10 more than tripling their Friday estimates.
I don’t know that there is anything much more to speak to that’s new since yesterday…
No box office number of Russell Crowe’s latest film?

Something tells me Summit is going to try to ride Twilight: New Moon to $300 million. All they need is $30 million. Is Twilight: New Moon the first $300 million-groosing movie that has yet to be seen by David Poland? I mean, he sat through Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I’m almost certain Twilight: New Moon is better than that piece of product. If Twilight: New Moon is Paris Hilton what does that make Transformers? K-Fed? Adam Lambert? Fabio?
(Mr. Poland, I’m just messing with you. You know we love ya.)
I wonder how much 2012 has made internationally? I couldn’t find this weekend’s figure anywhere.
Jimmy, you’re exactly right – Summit will ride New Moon to $300 million. Not sure, but I have feeling they have more time and that the DVD window will be longer on this one, than usual – I’m guessing they’ll save ad costs by release this in June just a few weeks before Eclipse comes out in theaters and they can do a blitz for both, together.
I can see them cracking $290 million by New Year’s, easily.
I’m curious about The Blind Side – I think it’s got the stamina to break $200 million, but is it going to be able to keep screens? That said, Oscar nods could give it the second wind it needs.

Sorry about the triple post – connection problems….

Do the LAFCA not believe in Best Leding Actor and Actress awards?
