FOTR passed $200 million with a fair drop after the holiday period.
Harry Potter passed the 300 million mark, but is barely ahead of Monsters Inc. now. :D FOTR had a decent drop after the holiday weekend, it managed another $20 million plus weekend.

Ali is still fading, while Vanilla Sky has slowed its deterioration. Clearly audiences have found a movie they like less than VS. ;)

The two 'artsy' critically acclaimed films went wide this weekend and made it into the top 5 while Oceans 11 continues its steady performance.


Looks Like Vanilla Sky and/or Jimmy Neutron could make it into the $100 club before they're done.

Good to see both BM and RT do well. :)

I bet the estimate is off for LOTR (it has been a million off the last two weekends) still 23-24 million is pretty good, and I think it should make another 100 to make it to 300 million, but will it pass HP that is another question.
