Good point, although 50 FIRST DATES still opened to $40m 3-day... And if anything, this one seems like less of a straight-up romantic-comedy
so maybe less a Valentine's push... Both share relatively the same level of (non-)competition, with NO STRINGS ATTACHED being about the only other romantic comedy on the market, in a nearly-identical position box office wise to ALONG CAME POLY the year 50 FIRST DATES came out.
RS: [JGWIT] high 30s [JBI3D] low 20s [GNOME] high single digits [EAGLN] mid single digits (just below GNOME) Feb 06, 13:19
Weak for Hall Pass. {nm} Feb 06, 13:20
Sorry, didn't need to tag that... force of habit. {nm} Feb 06, 13:51
True, plus teaming him with JANIS is not too shabby... I think what hurts it is that Valentine's Day is on Monday Feb 06, 13:51

Right, but 50 First Dates had Valentine's Day on its first weekend. Check the numbers, had a HUGE bump. {nm} Feb 06, 14:01
last time valentines on a monday, Hitch did very well that both weekend and monday {nm} Feb 06, 14:06
Good comparison and it had a nice bump on Saturday night. {nm} Feb 06, 14:16
Also....directed by the all time great Feb 06, 14:02
Are you saying what I think you're saying? :) {nm} Feb 06, 14:31
I don't buy it for JBI3D... Hannah Montana did low 30's with a third of the theaters, and Bieber's fans seem more rabid {nm} Feb 06, 14:13
For what it's worth, my 10yro daughter and friends wouldn't be caught dead at that movie... Feb 06, 18:31
wait till his friends see it and make him an outcast ... {nm} Feb 07, 22:45
I have a hard time seeing JBI3D doing less than 30. I would expect it to be around 32-33 with a ceiling of 38. {nm} Feb 07, 10:27
My assumption has always been the key demographic is about the same... we shall see... {nm} Feb 06, 16:15
Has anyone ever done any research about the Creepy Adult Demographic for these movies? {nm} Feb 08, 09:56
BoxOffice.com just dropped [JBI3D] from 30's to 17mm in it's predictions... {nm} Feb 09, 16:20
