The week values:
Zombieland: $32,801,081 out
Couples Retreat: $45,390,345
Where The Wild Things Are: $39,539,575 out
Saw is looking old and not performing well
This Is It is still the huge favorite because oif Frontloading and the two weeks run (?)
Saw VII won´t see 45m for its total run and the only others contender Paranormal Activity has only $26,922,425 to show for its first week because of Paramounts overly cautious release and reaching only #3 last weekend.
If the derbys prediction of 42,2m for the weekend of this wednesday release gets true than this will be a huge victory for music documentary.
@mvguy thats the reason why I buy insurances when they are cheap. Thanks to CR and my fast changes in other MJ Qs I will make much more money than with This is It.
