Post Memorial Day Derby

The Nikkster, true to form, puts up early numbers.

1. X Men: First Class (Marvel/Fox) NEW [3,641 Theaters] Friday $23M, Estimated Weekend $53M

2. The Hangover Part 2 (Warner Bros) Week 2 [3,615 Theaters] Friday $11M (-65%), Estimated Weekend $35M, Estimated Cume $189.4M

3. Kung Fu Panda 2 (DreamWorks Animation/Paramount) Week 2 [3,952 Theaters] Friday $6.2M (-52%), Estimated Saturday $22M, Estimated Cume $98M ...

We'll see how the numbers change as the weekend progresses, but the summer season has definitely been launched.

Add On: And at the wire, Kung Fu Panda 2 takes the third spot, with a cume of $100.4 million. (Though sizable, its 49% drop is the second smallest of any movie in the Top Ten.)

Down at #11, Fox/Blue Sky's Rio has now collected $136.7 million.

Just 22 million on second weekend? After the lackluster opening of 48 million memorial weekend? that is almost a 60% drop!!!Panda is DEAD.

Sure, Overseas numbers should help but its really disappointing to see a DreamWorks movie to make such little numbers domestically.

And you where all bashing Tangled numbers...

Kung Fu Panda 2 was battered in its second Friday. Retreating 52 percent, the animated sequel generated an estimated $6.3 million, increasing its sum to $82.4 million in nine days. The percentage drop was more extreme than Madagascar (42 percent) and any Shrek movie at the same post-Memorial Day point. The first Kung Fu Panda was down nearly 51 percent in its second Friday.

Between this and Shrek 4, maybe this will make DW re-think the whole sequel thing. Hopefully...

Yeah, like Cars2!

Technically, Cars2 is a threequel, since Cars was a sequel to the original live-action Doc Hollywood version.

and doc Hollywood was a rip off of an episode of The Andy Griffith show.
