I gotta agree with PopcornTreeCt. Ratatouille will definitely beat McClane, especially because its PIXAR first and foremost, and most parents will let their kids see a movie by that company.

It's doesn't work like that. For the weekend, it'll just be the box office take from Friday-Sunday for the weekly BO crown. Just because LFoDH opened on Wednesday doesn't mean you get to lump it in when comparing BO totals for the weekend. Anyway, it doesn't really mean all that much in the long run either way.

Ratatouille dominates F-Su. DH will have a higher to-date through Sunday, however.

I thought for awhile Ratatouille wasn't going to do well, but everything seems to have fallen in place for it of late. The campaign really came together. I think it has the 3 day weekend easy.
