Late Night At The Movies
At The Grove, here in L.A., four of this weekend's new films are launching just after midnight tonight: National Treasure 2, Sweeney Todd, Walk Hard, and Charlie Wilson's War.
The only film at over 50% capacity was Sweeney Todd... and it was at about 80% capacity in a 300+ seat theater. Not bad, but not overwhelming. And how was it for the rest? Ow.

yeah, but the Grove is basically in WeHo, so naturally Sweeney Todd will do better than two films whose demo are going after the average american filmgoer and a comedy that skews lower middle class (ala talladega nights).

I'd argue that National Treasure's and Charlie Wilson's main audience don't go see movies at midnight.
Walk Hard however, that is an ouch. We'll see how it plays out on Sundy Evening.
It's basically a battle for third.
National Treasure
I am Legend
Walk Hard
Charlie Wilson

Hopscotch: Does this mean you're placing Sweeney Todd at No. 1, and Alvin at No. 2?

Walk Hard may do better than tracking. Cool they're going for R. We'll soon see if audience's have any desire for Cox.

I just wanted to chime in and say I saw JUNO on Tuesday afternoon at the postmodern, epileptic seizure inducing METREON in San Francisco....and it was packed to the gills. I saw the 1:40 show and I was there right on time and still was relegated to those seats way down in front in a stadium seating type room.
