Death. Every movie with an ensemble black cast is not made by Tyler Ferry.

Holy ****, Cabin in the Woods only dropped 47%

That's great for a horror movie, and for one with a CinemaScore of C

It'll make $40,000,000 when all is said and done.

And The Hunger Games is on track for $415,000,000 when all is said and done, and it'll outgross every Harry Potter movie domestically. Simply amazing

Ya for Cabin in the Woods. Box Office success!

I don't see what the Hunger Games has to do with HP? They are nothing alike.

Saw it last night with some friends. It was a really good movie.

I think it was very smart of them to release Battleship worldwide first.

Im glad Harry Potter is the franchise that The Hunger Games could only dream to be WW then.

......? HP and The Hunger Games have so much in common....hugely popular book series, aimed at the youth, rabid fanbase, both have fantasy-esque elements, female driven book series and film series, multi-billion dollar film franchise and soon to be multi-billion dollar film franchise, young yet popular cast, acclaimed book and film series....i could go on....

Anyway, seriously outstanding for Think Like a Man, especially considering it's theater count. Also, very good for The Lucky One. Both movies beat expectations. As noted, a surprisingly very solid hold for Cabin in the Woods. There's pretty great momentum going forward into the summer season.

Let's not push TOO FAR. T-baby wouldn't make the top twentyfive of actresses in Hollywood. Speak the real at all times.

Battleship!
I'm guessing it will do about 300 million worldwide and 150 mill in the US to be about 450-500 ww total.

BREAKING… UPDATE: The superhero certain blockbuster doesn’t come out in the U.S. until May 4th. But my sources say early box office estimates are coming out of Australia this evening where Marvel‘s The Avengers from Disney was released today for the start of its international run. And the hotly anticipated actioner is already shattering box office records overseas. It earned in U.S. dollar estimates of $6.0M in Australia and $1.2M in Taiwan and $700K in New Zealand for almost $8M from the three countries on Wednesday. Two of the nations, Australia and New Zealand were holidays: ANZAC Day, so that helped boost box office. Australia’s opening day is the second-highest opening of all time there behind only the final Harry Potter (A$7M). It is also the highest Marvel opening day ever, 214% ahead of Iron Man 2 (A$1.8M Thursday opening) and 136% ahead of The Dark Knight (A$2.5M Thursday opening), and the highest Disney opening day ever for a Disney film. The pic playing in Taiwan is the biggest industry Wednesday opening ever, the biggest opening day of 2012 (173% above Battleship) and the second-biggest opening day for any Marvel film (after only Spider-Man 3). In New Zealand, pic scored a higher opening than The Dark Knight and Iron Man 2. This is the first Marvel film to be marketed and distributed by Disney, so this is great news for the studio.


The pic has been tracking incredibly high because so many well-known characters are coming together for the first time in this PG-13 film directed by Joss Whedon in Digital 3D, RealD & IMAX 3D. So the movie’s North American opening on May 4th timed to the official summer season start will be an event. As a result, not only will this type of action film normally skew young and older male, but the tracking is looking strong as a three- and possibly four-quadrant movie, too. Right now Disney and theatre owners are adding screens every day for the U.S./Canada release whose online pre-sales of tickets were selling out weeks in advance. Midnight show business is expected to be phenomenal. Exactly how much the studio can gross for the first weekend depends on how many screenings each theater can pack into 72 hours by finding enough staff willing to work the extra hours and keep the pic running continuously.

Yes, our country is small, but we contribute

So deserved. It was crowded when I went to see it despite it being a little late at night. Amazing movie, really.
I love the fact Joss added a funny touch.

[Rock That Beat...]

Great for The Avengers! It isn't really a surprise tho, I was anticipating this movie since they announced the release date and I'm almost certain I'm not the only one. The promotion was also big, I saw the trailer constantly during commercials when I was watching tv. I'm going to see it this Saturday, I cannot wait!

I don't expect much longevity. Movies aimed at black and/or urban audiences never have legs. NEVER. They open well and score strong per theater averages and great Cinemascores. And then they collapse. I guess because they fail to expand to other demographics.

The Top 10: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/

Under 50% drop for Cabin in the Woods

Dreamgirls did well.

[ain't.no.other]

Wow @ The Avengers. The session I went to was pretty crowded as well (I believe it sold out), so it sure felt like watching an event.
