Weekend numbers
Ghost Rider, the #1 film right now, is projected to wind up with roughly $47,344,000 by Monday night (i.e., concluding the four-day weekend). The second-place Bridge to Terabithia should take in $35 mill and change. Eddie Murphy's Norbit is #3 with $22,880,000. (Re-calculating by a three-day weekend standard, it's off 40-something percent from last weekend.)
Music and Lyrics is fourth with $14,735,000, and Breach is fifth with a projected $11,322,000. Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls is sixth with $10,963,000. Hannibal Rising follows with $6,065,000. Because I Said So is eighth with $5,892,000. Night at the Museum is #9 for $5,230,000, and The Messengers is the tenth-best earner with $4,569,000.

Jeff, you need a new calculator on Terabithia. It's more likely to be in the $25 to 28 million range for four days based on a $6.3 million opening. $35 million would be insane.

Ghost Rider looks like a piece of crap. A fun piece of crap. But still a piece of crap. I never thought it would be in the $47 mil range. Wow!

The good news? Tyler Perry didn't find an audience this time.
The bad news? This time next year he trots out that drag routine and bounces back.

That's crazy good for Breach, isn't it? I mean, a smart drama headlined by Chris Cooper and Ryan Phillippe?

A Fri-Sat comparison would be more valid; the Sunday-to-Sunday doesn't matter, because before a Monday holiday, Sunday is more like a second Saturday.
