Sherlock Holmes should be doing better. Saw it last night, and it was really good. Better than MI4, I think.

SH should have been huge.It was supposed to improve on the first movie,and get somewhere between $250M & $300M.Now it looks like it will finish around $100M lower than that projection.

Good week. I didn't expect to see an increase for all the movie in the top 15 (except for the last one).
Huge increase for War Horse!



Good week indeed,it was up YoY. MI4 beat MI3 in just 17 days.



With 2011 coming to an end this weekend, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol once again claimed the top spot at the box office. Not far behind were fellow sequels Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, followed by a surging War Horse and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The Top 12 earned an estimated $151 million, which is a slight improvement over the same frame last year and 15 percent up on 2005 (the last time New Year's fell on a Sunday).

Weekend Forecast (January 6-8)
1. Mission: Impossible - $15.8 million (-46%)
2. The Devil Inside - $14.1 million
3. Sherlock Holmes - $10.6 million (-49%)
4. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - $10.2 million (-31%)
5. Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 - $9.8 million (-40%)
- Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - $4.1 million

Bar for Success
As it's the only new nationwide release and falls within the ever-popular supernatural horror genre, The Devil Inside needs to at least crack $10 million to get a pass.

I hope MI4 holds a little bit better than that (-40%),we'll see.

The Devil Inside is getting some bad reviews,but that rarely stopped movies from getting a decent gross.
