Agreed. Leesmovieinfo had it pegged for about $45m for the full weekend.
Kind of expected it after last night though, all but 2 showings were sold out here.
Memoirs of a Geisha had an impressive $28,482 per theater, as well. Brokeback had an even more impressive $38,309 per theater.

Brokeback Mountain with some awesome numbers. Can't wait to see it.
I can't tell if Syriana's numbers are good or not for the number of screens its playing on.

Brokeback, I don't know. I don't know how the mainstream is going to accept a film about a love story between two men.

Whatever you do don't say that in the Brokeback thread.

What Matthew wrote is perfectly understandable. Your repeated comments about how "I have no interest. I am not gay" in a Brokeback Mountain thread is not. That's just flame baiting.

I have no clue how the mainstream is going to react to it. I was having a conversation with my mom and a commercial for the flick came out the television during it. I mentioned to her how it's getting tons of rave reviews and she goes, "Why would anyone want to see two guys be gay together?" Now my mom is not only a liberal, but votes in support of gay marriage. Yet, she had that response to the film.
So as I said, this film I am completely clueless about how it's going to preform outside of major citites.

Since this is doing pretty well at the box office right now, is it realistic to think that "Prince Caspian" might not be too far behind? I remember reading that Dinsey wanted to wait to see how this did, before going ahead with #2.
Please make all 7!!!!!!!
Please make all 7!!!!!!!

And I believe a $24 million opening day take makes a sequel official.

Wow...7 out of the top 10 I am planning to buy on DVD.
1) Narnia- A given- and if this ever gets the rumored Extended Edition treatment like the Lord of the Rings did, I would jump on that like J.Lo in a thong.
BY the way, what is up with the "The Hobbit"? Any news on this? I really want this one to get done. I think I heard New Line owned the rights, but United Artists owned the Publishing. Not sure if that's right though.

Solid take for LWW, hopefully it'll crack 200mill demostically, and 500-600 worldwide.

Nice numbers for Narnia. I'm hoping word of mouth will make it and King Kong the big winners of the holiday movie season. If nothing else, people can say the year went out with a bang thanks to a lion and a gorilla.
