Weekend Box Office Results for July 3–5, 2009

This is the first time I can recall a tie for the #1 spot. Of course, these are estimates. One of them will win when they get down to the exact dollar.

The new releases came in about 10% below expectations, and last week's films dropped rather precipitously (57% and 61%), which was not completely expected, so the cumulative total was slightly below last year. The percentage difference between this year and last was in single figures for the seventh time in the last eight weeks!
