Not here, the foreign box office is actually pretty huge (81 mil) so maybe abroad. But typically a movie loses 1/3 of its revenue every weekend, so it’ll hit 16 next weekend and probably wind up around 100 for the whole run. Which for a 155 million dollar budget is a big loss. But foreign could make up for it.

I could be wrong, but I suspect the Dawn Treader will get a little more wind in her sales as schools start letting out for Christmas vacation.

My understanding is that family movies make TONS more money in sales, by comparison, after the white hot release period.

People are much more likely to gift Narnia related materials, than Brokeback Mountain.
