Friday Estimates by Klady
Jackass Number Two will open about 25% ahead of Jackass, which is pretty good, but not sensational. It suggests that the core for this franchise remains about the same, while it probably got some expansion via Home Entertainment and a lack of product in the theaters for audiences that you might not expect to be rushing to Jackass (

I don’t think Len Klady has returned from Toronto yet, so I don’t think we’ll be seeing his box office report until tomorrow…

4-Day Weekend Estimates by Klady
No real surprises this weekend.
Crank, the teen skewing actioner, fell behind Invincible, the family feel good, after Crank had a slight lead on Friday.
The Wicker Man was less of an unmitigated disaster than it could have been.
Little Miss Sunshine continues to build effectively on word of mouth and simple, clean ads. My $50 million guess on the film
Friday Estimates by Klady – 9/2/06
The only thinks here that are of any interest to me are the good results for Little Miss Sunshine and The Illusionist.
Have a lovely 4-day weekend.
