  - it's a function of time more than anything, really. and offering a movie that serves the XX chromies rather than the XYs with dragalong XXs. -- nm - amandize Feb 5, 18:53 5
    - If it was Valentine's Day or wahtever that mass-appeal thing is next week, okay...but this looks awful - Will Hunting Feb 5, 18:57 4
      - so did Twilight/New Moon. -- nm - dj roomba Feb 5, 18:58 3
        
        Is the Dear John book popular? - Will Hunting Feb 5, 19:00 2
        
        but if Twilight does $100 million on the wknd you only have to tap into 25% of that market to have this kind of opening -- nm - dj roomba Feb 5, 19:01
        
        there've been no *date* movies for eons. see? -- nm - amandize Feb 5, 19:01
- they cut the last two shows tonight at my local AMC because of the snow. -- nm - Max Feb 5, 18:49 8
  - but is this a huge consideration? the take thus far that's used to extrapolate the numbers estimated - amandize Feb 5, 18:52 7
    - I'm just saying it's that much more impressive because of the lost income. -- nm - Max Feb 5, 19:04
    - Avatar's opening weekend was estimated to be down between 10 and 20% because of the last noreaster -- nm - dj roomba Feb 5, 18:54 5
      - No, it wasn't. -- nm - David Feb 5, 19:09 2
        
        it did $73 million without the midnight sneaks. without the snow storm, it probably does $80 to 85 -- nm - dj roomba Feb 5, 19:11 1
        
        It did $77 million and you're equally wrong about the other thing. -- nm - David Feb 5, 19:15
      - right, so you say 10 mill and I say down one mill. that's 10%. see? -- nm - amandize Feb 5, 18:55 1
        
        i'm math dumb -- nm - dj roomba Feb 5, 18:55
- I'm not surprised at all. the blitz on my tv has been impressive. -- nm - amandize Feb 5, 18:49
