I thought it might, but what's the precedent on that one? I must confess that I'm a wee bit satisfied to see at least one of my predictions for Twilight pan out (drop of over 60% in its second weekend). It's a bit of a relief to see massively overblown hype finally subside, like the last five minutes of an episode of House where they figure out that the underlying problem that almost killed the guy is something easily treated and he magically gets all better. (You can guess what I spent the weekend doing.) Milk needs to open wider. I'd love to see it without having to drive an hour. Bolt actually improved into its second weekend of wide release?

Some sources are claiming that Four Christmases actually made more than 46 million and that Twilight managed 39+ and is at second place with Bolt coming in third with a cool 31 million plus. Which ones are the right estimations? I'm confused.

Bond is also set, but I worry about it underperforming in the states. If Bond can't make back its budget in the US alone, it might be the final nail in the ''outdated'' coffin (which I disagree with, but I've heard plenty of whisperings about). Excellent news for Milk, and also for The Boy In The Striped Pajamas (which I saw this weekend and would highly recommend). The BO was much stronger overall that I thought, with everything being about 60% more than I predicted on Boxofficemojo Madagascar has yet to open in the majority of foreign markets (where the original thrived), so DreamWorks should be set with that one.
