Also its theater count is 410 for this weekend so I guess its finally getting a dollar theater boost.

410 theaters..nice.
That'll result in some extra $$$ during the weekend.

Looking at the daily figures it looks like just might for fall short. Unless they can keep it IMAX for a bit more and start releasing it in dollar theaters.

Yes I am sure they are going to burn barns down rushing to make a sequel to a movie that took a record amount of time just to break even yeh and along with that I have this great beach front property in Flordia I was looking to sell yeh yeh thats the ticket....

Poor Singer, poor Routh, poor Super stalker: $198,935,940.

I thought there was a 50/50 chance of getting 200mil. It looks like the good for it 50 will win out.

Still I always thought that this 200mil in the U.S/Canada is much a do about nothing and is the meaning of making something look better than it is because of huge lowered expections. Gongrats anyway though. I wan't to see it in dollar theaters but I don't think that it's in the dollar theaters in my area yet. If it takes to long I'll just wait for the DVD.

 

[Hiruu]

Hmmm..what about $400 million?

You sure do hate Superman Returns.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Hmmm..what about $400 million?

Not going to happen. The movie is out everywhere internationally and has made 190mil and is way under a million in internation ticket sales. It is impossible for it to make 400mil.

 

[hammerhedd11]

Almost at 199 mil...

GoSupesGo!

I checked Yahoo movies yesterday and it made more money than I expected this week, but apparently 300+ theatres brought it back in. Last week, it said it was in something like 130 theatres not it's in 460 theatres. Do you think this could mean in will be brought back in more theatres by Columbus day and if so, can it surpass the $200,000,000 mark by tuesday?
