The Return Of Box Office Hell
And the premiere of MCN Weekend...

I could see Hannah Montana dropping much harder (sub 10m?) due to the fact that the audience is being courted by Zac. Or are these two movies aimed at different age groups (that would be seperated by no more than a few years, surely).

I like the Weekend page.

If I may, that is a terrific layout for the weekend page. Easy to find everything you want and its all organized in a logical manner. I heartily approve.

Nice layout; On the flip side, anyone else having minor load problems with this blog last few days? Seems a notch slower than usual, sometimes freezes? Maybe it's due to more graphics/video-post threads/polls?
Finke's Friday night report is calling STATE OF PLAY as #2???? Anyone see THAT coming?
I had that pegged as one of those "smart adult" potboilers that opens at like $6 mil for the whole weekend.
She doesn't have numbers up, but if it's second only to 17 Again and ahead of Crank, what, is it gonna do like 25 this weekend?
Either Crowe's still got it, Crank underperformed... or Naomi Watts and Clive Owen are even less a box-office than already assumed.

Nope... 17 Again did $10 million and State Of Play did only $4.6 million. Crank 2 opened to $2.6 million, thus ending Lionsgates's 2009 hot streak (New In Town excepted). Of course, Finke's numbers are often... um... premature, so make of it what you will.

An excuse for Lex to get out of town:
