'New Moon' wins Thanksgiving box office. 'Blind Side' makes strong play for weekend

Summit Entertainment's "New Moon" scored the winning touchdown at the Thanksgiving box office, but Warner Bros. and Alcon Entertainment's sports drama "The Blind Side" was the underdog to watch.

In its second frame of play, "New Moon" grossed an estimated $42.5 million from 4,042 runs for the three-day holiday weekend, and a total of $66 million for the Wednesday-Sunday stretch for a staggering domestic cume of $230.7 million.

"Blind Side," also in its second sesh, nearly tackled "New Moon" in grossing $40.1 million from 3,140 theaters for the weekend, and $57.5 million for the five days. Pic jumped the $100 million mark, ending the weekend with an estimated cume of $100.3 million.

Between "New Moon" and "Blind Side," new entries had to fight for leftovers as they unspooled Wednesday.

Disney's John Travolta-Robin Williams comedy "Old Dogs" placed No. 4 after "New Moon," "Blind Side" and Sony's holdover "2012," from Roland Emmerich. ("2012" grossed a healthy $18 million from 3,444 runs for the weekend, and $25.6 million for the five days.)

"Old Dogs" grossed $16.8 million for the weekend from 3,425 runs and $24.1 million for the five days.

Warners' male-driven actioner "Ninja Assassin" opened to an estimated $13.1 million for the weekend and $21 million for the five days.

Wes Anderson's prestige/family hybrid "Fantastic Mr. Fox," from 20th Century Fox," grossed $7 million from 2,033 theaters for the weekend, and $9.5 million for the five days. Film expanded nationwide on Wednesday after a two-week limited run.

On the specialty side, the Weinstein Co.'s "The Road" grossed an estimated $1.5 million from 111 theaters for the weekend, and $2 million for the five days. Film, opening Wednesday, scored a per location average of $13,720 for the weekend, and a stronger $19,148 for the five-day holiday sesh.

Ninja Assassin 40 mil budget? I expected more.

Also. Twilight. 230 million. wow.
 
How is it even possible for The Princess & the Frog to get $700k from 2 theaters? The average is insane.

Some reason Disney films do that. The Lion King had $793,377 average from 2 theaters and Pocahontas had $448,285 average from 6 theaters. Must be pretty huge theaters.

They probably pick the biggest theater in NYC and the biggest theater in LA and then sell out every showing over the entire weekend.
 
Christmas Carol setting up for a nice holiday run. Probably just to laugh at the people who wrote it off at release. And it looks like The Blind Side will be the feel-good hit of the season.

New Moon cratered hard - might not even hit $300m at that pace.
 
Go see Ninja Assassin people!! one of the best pop-corn movies this year.

I hope it has profitable run in the theatre. I wanna see Ninja Assassin 2

I wonder how huge twilight's drop would have been without the holiday weekend

70%? Wow

I wonder how much Princess and the Frog would have done had Disney had the common sense to give it a full release for thanksgiving weekend. Such a lost opportunity. They instead chose to stick it a week before Avatar...

Just noticed that. When is it supposed to come out nationwide in the US?
 
New Moon didn't drop hard enough.

That Princess and the Frog number is pretty interesting. A somewhat similar start to The Lion King which also opened in two theaters with a crazy average...although in TLK's case the average was more than double of 'Frog's. :P
 
Just to be clear, the reason for Princess and the Frog's high average is that the two theatres are charging enormously high ticket prices and offering an "event" after the film with costumed characters, princesses, games, photo shoots, food, etc.
 
Yeah, Disney's decision to release TP&TF on Dec. 11th is mindboggling. Seems so arbitrary...and as I said in another thread, WTF @ them NOT giving it a run @ the El Capitan in Hollywood.

I'm starting to think it may make more than Avatar.
 
At first I thought the "oh shits" was in reference to how badly Princess and the Frog did, but then I noticed the 2 theatre average....

Star Trek Nemesis and Hellboy 2 should get little asterisks since their drop was the fault of some idiot at the studio who decided to release them before the biggest movies of the year. Star Trek was a week before Two Towers, and Hellboy was a week before The Dark Knight.

That Hellboy 2 release decision was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. I guarantee it would have crossed 100 million in the U.S. if it had a better release date. It was just up against the biggest super hero movie of all time.

Quoting this so people actually notice it. The tickets for the Princess and Frog cost 50, 60 bucks.

pfft, Nemesis would have had that insane drop no matter what. The movie was shit and only attended by the die-hards (who all likely went the opening day/week).
 
I want to believe in Avatar, but I still cannot get over how horrible the fucking blue alien looks are. Looks like someone's sick furry fanfic.
 
Someone mentioned the tracking numbers in one of the Avatar threads. :P
