Universal and Focus Features’ Fifty Shades of Grey kicked off its North American release at 2,830 engagements last night, racking up the second-highest Thursday night preview ever with $8.6M. The record holder for an R-rated preview belongs to Warner Bros. The Hangover 2, which made $10.4M in midnight previews before its Memorial Day weekend 2011 release.

By the way prove that I am pro-gay marriage.....That is a huge lie. You will never find a post saying that and the fact that you slander me will cause you to be sued. I would win too.
Hey, that was a serious artistic expression of a social issue - or something.
I’ve also not heard this sort of stat reported before. Usually it’s “first weekend” stats.
That’s the one I’m going to find interesting.
Viewers expecting a porn flick are likely to leave disappointed.
Porn sells in depravity-wracked, sexually-deviant, pre-collapse America. And this is news?
Hate to break it to you but sex has been around since Adam and Eve.
Even when society had it banned from cinema and books, and whatnot, people still did it and talked about it.
Nobody here watched that crap film.
Still time to buy handcuffs and whips in time for Valentines day!
Where are all the femi-nazi protests?
It's a movie. I'm commenting on a movie box office. Ease up on the throttle. ;-)
‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ $8.6M Thursday Night Preview Racks Up Records
You can't really compare a Friday night opening to a Thursday night preview. When the receipts come in tomorrow, we'll know more accurately how 'Grey' stood up against the competition.
I know. I’m just sayin’.
I dunno about that. Tupelo, Mississippi, home to the American Family Association, is the first city in the nation to sell out screenings of Fifty Shades of Grey.
Thanks....for posting a quality alternative.

Nothing about dictating was mentioned or implied. I stated my opinion on the sad lack of talent in Hollywood and the entertainment industry. If smut and porn is what the public wants, of course that is what will be produced. That doesn’t keep the situation from being sad and disgusting for some.
