hmm, true. without that, the box office is closer to $18 million.

still hard to predict next week. 99% of sales have been for 3d only. word of mouth regarding the 3d has been 'meh'. anyone that absolutely wanted to see this would have already done so. anyone still waiting probably wanted to hear about the 3d first. I would assume a huge drop-off for next week. However, someone mentioned that on TFN there are posters claiming to have seen it twice? if thats the case, I gaurantee they are certain to see it at least one more time next weekend, and that may make up for it.

and thats not even taking into account presidents day (which couldn't have come at a better time for TPM). Man, I wish box office mojo still had its forum - was able to get a lot of insight and predictions.

on a personal note, I can't get over how hilarious that TPM3D commercial is. Everytime that guy says "hurry up qui-gon, you don't want to be late for the celebration" I want to actually ROTFLMAO. I have this terrible urge to take a snip of just that one piece and make it into a ringtone. bwaaaaahahahahahaahahahahaaa
