Brilliant selection of opening dates for S&H and Hidalgo. Catch all the folks who were shut out for Passion ...
I mean really. Has anybody seen a weekend in early March with this much box office gross? SH and Hidalgo had to benefit from the Passion sell outs.

I'll agree to that. Studio's weren't counting on S&H to have competition and they sure as hell didn't plan any brilliant selection of opening dates to catch folks who were shut out for passions.

Passion is #5 on the all time second weekend BO, based on estimates. I think it will beat TPM when the actual numbers are released.
Top 5 Second Weekends:
1 Spider-Man $71,417,527
2 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone $57,487,755
3 How the Grinch Stole Christmas $52,118,445
4 Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace $51,399,863
5 The Passion of the Christ $51,392,000
It also now has the #1 BO weekend for both February and March. I think it is the first movie ever to do that (have #1 weekends in two different months).
It will also become the highest grossing R rated movie ever.
Current: The Matrix Reloaded $281,576,461
After 12 days Reloaded had $200,773,759, (versus Passion's $212,034,000) and it was VERY front loaded and had a much higher drop off than Passion is seeing (60% on second weekend VS 40% for Passion). Passion will probably be the first R rated movie to pass $300.

However, I do happen to believe there was some residual benefit for those movies. Find me an early March date where the top 3 gross over 100 mil. I doubt SH does much better than 28 mil w/o Passion but maybe not much worse either. SH is not blockbuster material regardless of what's playing.

Actually, I don't know where the sentiment for S&H doing better than 28 mil w/o Passion is coming from. Isn't this the biggest opening for either Stiller or Wilson? Why should this one do any better than their previous efforts. It isn't like the TV show was all that popular and it certainly isn't summer yet...
