Also Debuting
Ete sans point ni coup sur 67200 55 - 67200
Frozen River 17900 7 - 17900
Midnight Meat Train 9600 102 - 9600
In Search of Midnight Kiss 4300 2 - 4300
Sixty Six 1800 2 - 1800
The Exiles 1400 1 - 1400

I think my crazy predictions might come true. I've got Journey right because it is only 100 thousand behind Swing Vote and it being a family film will have a better multiplier. I think The Mummy will be front loaded enough on Friday that Batman wlll remain #1 .

My risk really paid off. I had a feeling the Mummy 3 was going to underperform and I was right. I also was right about Journey beating out Swing vote. So, I gain a little bit on the leaders but right now it is still pretty much a three man race.
