Probably somewhere around $7-$8 million. The friday-to-friday drop was about 47%

The estimated collections for the weekend is $6,130,000 with a huge drop of 57% over the prior weekend. The cume so far from the re-run is now $24,300,000. The film seems to be doing a lot poorer than other recent re-releases.

The drop of Blade II was even higher at an estimated 60%. The re-release is not doing well as previously anticipated. It is now estimated to settle around $35M.
Ice Age came out as a surprise hit from Fox, a wild card that Universal was probably not expecting.

So my $40M theory wasn't too off at all...this one just didn't seem like it would be a huge theatrical hit. I expect the DVD to sell like MAD though!
Take care,
Chuck

Heck, if I were them I would bump up that DVD release so all of that advertising money (which was probably not made back by the films recent theatrical run) does not go to waste.  |

This is probably the gold-plated bona-fide example of a populace NOT wanting a beloved film #@$%ed with. The truth is, my generation grew up with E.T. and Star Wars, my generation was pissed off with the "Greedo Shoots First" version of Star Wars, and we had no desire to see a politically-correct version of E.T.
Mel Gibson just learned the same lession with the re-release of The Passion. Nobody pays money to go the movies to see *less* of a beloved film, or to see a sanitized version of that film.

Ernest, just curiosity - why did you revive a thread that's three years old to make the 'Greedo didn't shoot first' argument?
