Clint Eastwood's Changeling, going wide this weekend, is running 74, 37 and 19 -- very heavily skewed towards older women, at least $20 million. The Haunting of Molly Hartley is at 43, 28 and 5. Rock n Rolla, going wide ,also has a 34, 22 and 1...nothing. Kevin Smith's Zack and Miri Make a Porno is running at 66, 33 and 13. Younger males, of course. Looking to be one of the better Weinstein Co. openings in a long while.
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa opens on 11.7, and is now at 90, 38 and 9. Over-25 women with kids. Pretty good business. Role Models is at 44, 35 and 5....decent. Soul Men is at 59, 32 and 3. Quantum of Solace (Sony, 11.14) is at 70, 53 and 15 -- very strongly male, both older and younger.
DIsney's Bolt, opening on 11.21, is at 58, 28 and 3. Twilight, sure to be a big hit with under-25 women, is running at 44, 39 and 8.

I highly doubt "Changeling" is going to earn $20 million this weekend. I'd predict more like $10-13 million.

Haven't seen a KS film in the theater since the disappointment that was Jay & Silent Bob, but I have to say I'm vaguely interested in going out to see this one. No idea why, really.

Changeling did really well in its limited run last week...$20 million wouldn't surprise me.

Can't wait to see Role Models. In all honestly, haven't wanted to see a movie this badly in months. Can't explain it, aside from my perpetual man crush on Paul Rudd.
I can't believe Changeling would touch $20, much less $15 - but hey, I've been wrong before.

Josh: Dunno about man-crushes, but I do think Stifler needs to get more exposure than Pie Boy. He was one of the few reasons I could stand Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

I plan on seeing Zack and Miri and either Changeling or Pride and Glory this weekend.
Role Models looks quite funny.
Solace looks tight.

Just got back from a ROLE MODELS screening and it's very funny. Very formulaic, but it works, thanks to Rudd and Scott, who are great together. Jane Lynch is also very funny. Strong laughs from the audience throughout. Much, much better than ZACK AND MIRI, if you're looking for R-rated fun. I'm surprised by the low numbers on BOLT, but I guess there's still time.

yeah, If I could add to ROLE MODELS, I think it's a funny -- occasionally very funny -- movie but I wasn't a huge fan of the final 25 minutes or so, a little bland and, as thatmovieguy said - formulaic.
Ronny is extremely annoying after about 5 minutes, as well...

Jane Lynch is a national treasure.

Haunting of Molly Hartley might just be the worst movie I've seen all year. And yes, I saw Meet the Spartans.
