After three weeks in theaters "True Grit" has now tallied $110.4 million making it the third most successful western in history. It currently trails "Dances With Wolves" ($184.2 million) and "Wild Wild West" ($113.8 million). "True Grit" marks the first time a Coen bros. film has topped the century mark and with the film expected to do very well in terms of Oscar nods, Paramount is now predicting a final domestic haul well north of the $150 million mark. Out of the expected ten Best Picture nominees this year, "True Grit" will be the third most successful of the predicted line-up (behind "Toy Story 3" and "Inception").
While it's very unlikely that anything will derail the 'Social Network' train at this point in terms of Oscar glory, congrats to the Coens for earning their biggest hit movie to date.
