The midnight numbers are in - but they pale in comparison to what the studio is expecting for the weekend.
Thor managed to rake in $3.25 Million last night just from midnight showings of the flick. At this rate, the studios are predicting a $60+ million domestic weekend opening for Marvel/Disney/Paramount super movie.
Wow! That would be one hell of an opening!!! Fingers crossed for you, Chris!!!
It was to be expected, especially since last week the audience count was at an all-time high to see him go.
The numbers are in and last night's episode of The Office, the first without Steve Carell as the boss, dipped in the ratings by 17 percent. With only 2.7 million viewers tuning it, it garnered the show a meger 1.1 standing in the key 18-49 demo.
No surprise, American Idol was #1, up 7 percent from Wednesday's show and up 6 percent in total viewers (20.8 million vs. 19.6 million)
Sad face. They better put a new boss in there soon! It doesn't seem like the show will be able to stay afloat amidst such uncertainty.
Rio had a successful first week at the box office, bringing in an estimated $40 million in ticket sales.
The 3-D adventure, which features the voices of Anne Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg, Leslie Mann, Tracy Morgan, will.i.am and more, did well with every demographic and had a strong showing overseas, Variety reports.
Scream 4 brought in $19.3 million - and largely positive reviews! - in its first weekend at the box office.
Rounding out the top five were Hop, Soul Surfer, and Hanna.
WHAT DID YOU SEE at the movies this weekend?
