Progress “all inclusive” Vince Vaughn for $ 35.3M weekend, Halloween advertising “Paranormal Activity” $ 6.5 million from 159 runs

Wow, the last piece of dreck will Vince Vaughn vocal geniuses of the newly installed universal. Movies always do business after the studio heads are fired,” a studio exec emailed me tonight. “Reason? [Universal Pictures president David Linde and Marc Shmuger were replaced by Adam Fogelson and Donna Langley this week.] Couples Retreat for Universal opened to $ 12.3 million on Friday and 10% from $ 13.5 million Saturday from 3,000 screens in North America for a $ 35.3M weekend. Couples Retreat is a PG-13 “comedy”, but I use that term loosely, because even the studio thought it worse than mediocre. Saturday AM / PM Sunday UPDATE: Oh, the glory of being the only new film in the multiplex, even a humorless laugh. With only one “B” CinemaScore, is a leader in interest and the first choice among women over 25, followed by males aged 25 years and females under 25 years. (They really like about Vince-to-be-40 swell?)However, the picture even better than Universal or its rivals thought possible. But that’s what happens when you cut loose Vaughn to star in, co-write and produce a silly idea that was an excuse to shoot in Bora Bora with his friend Peter Billingsley as time and other fellow director Jon Favreau and co writer and actor.
But the real story this weekend is one that I spoke to you last Sunday. Adjusted release no or limited ticket price inflation were 1,986 Platoon $ 3.7 M in 174 screens, Tigre, Hidden Dragon 2000 of $ 3.4 M in 172 screens, and 2007’s No Country for Old Men $ 3.1 M in 148 screensThis gives $ 2.5 million Friday and $ 2.6M Saturday for a paltry 159 points, or $ 7 million for the weekend! But he did so well that Paramount expanded Friday, and the picture reward that trust with a per screen average of $ 15,875 Friday. “Be careful cuz there a freight train coming, and Paramount will be making a ton of cash in this collection. “We assume the film was going to perform like most genre films and the fall from Friday to Saturday. Because nothing is happening there, and who knows where the limit is” one rival studio executive I gushed. (See my “Paranormal Activity” gross Gets only monstrous playing well after midnight.) Remember that the project of the Blair Witch? Even rival studios are salivating about the potential of box office Paramount collection Paranormal Activity, which opened its doors to play just shows midnight 25th September. “It’s pretty amazing,” one executive told me important. Now officially a pre-Halloween phenomenon. Instead, the film seems poised to do more.” I have said this # 5 photo might make the most gross of any film-3D no less than 200 screens.
It will definitely be a weekend more than 100 M $ up, 8% over last yearAs for the rest of the 10, but nothing Top remnants in a weekend fall strange lack of new titles.
