For those playing the HSX game it looks like FH911 will be making upwards of $87 million by next weekend 
what a huge number from this movie.
Spiderman is having over a 50% drop from last weekend so it does look like it will end up with lower numbers than the first movie.
It has a huge amount of competition over the next few weeks.

I'm surprised Anchorman got that close to Spider-Man. I was expecting Spider-Man to run away with it this weekend.
And whats up with Arthur I thought it was supposed to be decent. Then again I had no clue it was opening this weekend.

I was actually expecting Anchorman to best Spidey, but glad it isn't though both are good IMO. Why was the earlier poster ready to write off Spidey already? It's already got a crapload of money and will no doubt stick around the top five for a while. Is a movie now considered a flop if it doesn't make $300 million in under seven days?

I would think the Incredibles being the only success for Disney would kill Eisner. This would remind stockholders that the only success is from Pixar that Eisner lost.
I think that King Arthur will actually end up being a sucess based on overseas money and dvd sales they should make money off of it. I would not be surprised to see Around the World in 80 days being profitable leaving only Alamo as a loss overall.

Buena Vista is just having a horrible year at the box office so far. Their biggest earner so far this year is Hidalgo at $67,193,906, followed by Kill Bill Vol. 2 at $65,705,158 and Miracle at $64,371,181. The rest?
My Baby's Daddy ...$17,321,573
Jersey Girl ...$25,266,129
Ella Enchanted ...$22,755,428
Teacher's Pet: The Movie ...$6,491,350
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen ...$29,302,097 Ladykillers, The ...$39,665,353
Home on the Range ...$49,436,574 ($110,000,000 budget)
Alamo, The ...$22,261,162 ($92,000,000 budget)
Raising Helen ...$36,168,013
Around the World in 80 Days ...$20,977,449
They pass on Fahrenheit 9-11, they get the lesser of two Lindsay Lohan vehicles, and all their supposed big releases are underperforming, if not outright tanking. At this point, calling them "Di$ney" just isn't accurate. At least they have a few possible winners (besides the obvious Incredibles, but even that film's success will be sorta like a kick to the nuts due to the upcoming split with Pixar.)

Wouldn't have even been much of a loss if they hadn't spent so much on bloody awful advertising...
