Wow, this is 1,000,000 ahead of LOTR:Return of the King. I guess the question is, what kind of staying power does it have?

The trend lines for this film are great. It started out slower than LOTR, but after the third day was stronger. Word of mouth will carry the film for some time.

So far, it's far ahead of the other movies in terms of "legs." It opened lower, but is coming on stronger than any of the rest, contrary to the predictions of the naysayers.

What's happening is that the people who were scared off by the critics are now being convinced by the people who have seen the movie to go and see it.

Lots of people like me who haven't had a chance to go yet will be going.
