Friday:

1. BLADES OF GLORY PARAMOUNT 3,372 12,050,000 3,574 n/a 12,050,000
2. MEET THE ROBINSON BVI 3,413 7,489,000 2,194 n/a 7,489,000
3. 300 WARNER BROS. 3,004 3,371,000 1,122 -44% 171,861,000
4. TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (TMNT) WARNER BROS. 3,120 2,546,000 816 -71% 31,821,000
5. WILD HOGS BVI 3,200 2,520,000 788 -38% 129,218,000
6. SHOOTER PARAMOUNT 2,806 2,455,000 875 -48% 21,435,000
7. PREMONITION SONY 2,474 1,694,000 685 -48% 35,874,000
8. HILLS HAVE EYES II, THE FOX ATOMIC 2,465 1,312,000 532 -66% 13,052,000
9. REIGN OVER ME SONY 1,671 1,178,000 705 -53% 10,718,000
10. LAST MIMZY, THE WARNER BROS. 3,017 1,046,000 347 -62% 12,706,000

Blades has a good chance of breaking $30m, Robinsons should be in the $20s. 300 continues to get closer to $200m.

I enjoyed all 3 flicks, good to see em doing well. The floor dropped out under TMNT on Friday. Premonition, somewhat surprisingly, continues to draw an audience, while Reign Over Me failed to gain any traction.

I just remembered, wasn't yesterday the relaunch of Peaceful Warrior w/ the $15m in free tickets? Pretty bad they couldn't get 1/20th of the people to actually show up.

In defense of The Lookout, it's only playing at 955 theaters. The rest of the top 10 are in 1600 or more.

Is $32 million + DVD sales + international sales not enough to warrant a sequel?

Hardly a guarantee. Especially considering the huge drop.

A 71% drop is "Hulk" level bad. Of course, they are making a sequel to that, but I think that's more to do the movie "right" rather than popular demand.

Even for free, I had no desire to see it.

I saw 4 movies (all free) this weekend. Peaceful Warrior was ok, but a little long and slow. Reign on Me would have been very good with a better actor in Sandler's role, he just didn't do it for me. Blades of Glory was fairly funny, C+/B-. Lookout was the best of the bunch for me, B/B-.

I used the free tickets for Peaceful Warrior to see Blades of Glory with my girlfriend. They didn't seem to care.

If that's the case, it should have had a much higher per screen average. Looks like it did poorly.

I didn't see much advertising for it. And there's no star to push the film either.

No, actually, it did quite poorly for that # of theaters.
