Contrary to what I wrote earlier today, Meet the Spartans didn't come close to dropping out of the top ten. In fact it finished fourth on Friday, despite losing to two new entries which were not running Thursday when Spartans finished 7th. Weird! Spartans did drop 67% from last Friday, which is a massive drop, but not as massive as I anticipated.Speaking of massive drops, Cloverfield dropped another 60% since last Friday! That film has disappeared about as fast as any in history, except for those which were withdrawn voluntarily by the distributors.
Enough bad news. The good news is rather spectacular. That Hannah Montana thing is heading for a weekend of $20-25m despite being in only 683 theaters. It is basically sold out, and may contend for some of the "per screen" records.
The Eye is a moderately good performer and will finish 2nd for the weekend with a gross in the mid teens.
