I expect TPOTC to easily move from #10 overall to #8 overall and maybe even #7 overall.

#8 easily. It only needs another $2M to overtake "Finding Nemo", and it did more than that on Thursday. Another $2M has it overtaking "The Two Towers". It should be at #8 by Saturday, easily.

To get to #7, it has to earn an additional $15M past that (or $20M from where it stood on Thursday), and that might be a stretch, even considering it's Easter Weekend. But probably by the end of next weekend

I think it will make a minimum of $15 million on the weekend, and probably $20 million, which will take it to #7. But I'm praying for $50 million--not for the money, but the people to hear the gospel and be converted. Or for apathetic Christians to see it and be charged with the Holy Spirit. That is, I want 10 million people to see it domestically this weekend.

And I pray for twice that worldwide.

On the money side, if it hits $50 million this weekend, that will take it to $387 million this weekend and then it will probably hit $400 million next weekend--the fastest ever.

Pretty good for a movie with a limited market. </sarcasm>

Considering the levels of attendance levels of Friday matinée showings, I think it has a strong likelihood of a very good weekend. And probably the best "seventh Friday" to date.
