- Talladega Nights opened well above estimates, with an $18 million Friday. Analysts had it pegged in the high thirties for the weekend, but it should actually hit fifty.
- Barnyard also performed better than expected, with a $5.5m Friday. If you click on "the forecast" at the same web site linked here, you'll see that the same site pegged it at only $7.5 million for the entire weekend!
- The other two new releases performed as expected. Buoyed by impressive reviews, The Descent managed to finish a solid third, despite being limited to 2000 theaters. It snuck in there ahead of the big holdovers, Pirates and Miami Vice, each of which is in 3000 theaters or more.
- Miami Vice lost an alarming 2/3 of its audience from last Friday, dropping from $9 million to $3.1.
