New numbers
Definitely Maybe has been tracking decently among women. The general numbers are 64, 32 and 11, but the first choice number is in the teens among women. (Keep in mind there's an extra President's Day holiday day on Monday.)
Doug Liman's allegedly painful Jumper -- almost certainly a one-weekend phenomenon -- is still the #1 attraction. The Spiderwick Chronicles is running at 75, 24 and 5. Step Up 2 The Streets is a 16 first choice. All four films are going to do at least decently....no wipeouts.
Vantage Point will do decent business when it opens on 2.22. The most popular March 7th release will be Roland Emmerich's 10,000 B.C., which is running at 57, 35 and 6...heavily male. The Bank Job is running at 20, 16 and 1...nothing. College Road Trip is tallying at 58, 25 and 2.

When the trailer for 10,000 B.C. ran in front of FOOL'S GOLD, the audience was practicaly in convulsions. But it's not supposed to be a comedy, is it?

Is "Vantage Point" an actual feature length movie? I just thought it was a trailer that ran in front of EVERY movie I've seen in the past three months.

I'll be catching Definitely, Maybe and In Bruges this weekend.
10,000 BC looks like a CGI'ed, mentally retarded step-brother to Apocalypto...
I hope Vantage Point is smart, stylish fun...

the pg-13 rating doesn't help matters either with 10,000 BC

"Definitely, Maybe" is far from perfect, but man is it better than "How to Lose a/Hitch/Fool's Gold/etc."
As to "Jumper" -- wow. Is there an Oscar for utter incoherence?

I also hope The Bank Job is worth checking out...I really liked the trailer and I love the posters.

I'll second actionman on the poster for TBJ, it's one of the best I've seen in awhile. As for mentally retarded step brother, I'll take retarded over psychotic and unpleasant every time. APOCALYPTO might be one of my least favorite movie experiences in a theater ever.

I cannot wait for "College Road Trip" to open, just so Disney can take down that excruciating building billboard over Sunset Plaza. The look on Raven Simone's face makes me want to hurt someone.

Three months? I've been seeing VANTAGE POINT trailers since SUPERBAD last August. Enough, uncle, open the movie already (I do like its music, though--where's it from?).
