Sounds about right. Hard to beat the hype of being a "first" movie in a series. Still a huge chunk of change. Half the people I know went to see it; we'll probably wait until middle of next week or so when the crowds are smaller.

It sure is. Fast and consistent results. They have a great box office predicting game as well called the box office derby. I'm currently ranked 148 out of 3000.

i think the original made like 91 opening weekend. and before spiderman, it was the highest grossing movie ever for an opening weekend. and i think fellowship of the rings made only like 60 opening week.

Fellowship made $47.2m on opening weekend - though it opened on a Wednesday and had something around $75 million from Wednesday to Monday.
Not bad at all - and I expect the sequel to topple that.

If you send it in and notice you f'd it up, you can resend it again and it will replace your previous entry. I didn't make the deadline this week for Potter, but I would've done pretty well too (even predicted the huge drop for 8 Mile) My nick is dpags from New York on the chart.
