OPENING: That Awkward Moment (FOCUS) opens in second spot; (PAR) soft in seventh place. NOTEWORTHY: Ride Along (UNI) is No. 1 for third weekend in a row with Ride Along and Lone Survivor, the latter crossed $100M.
Grossess this morning revised both upwards and downwards. Opener
UPDATED, Saturday, 7 AM: Labor Day dropped a spot and the 9/10 spots are clear this morning. As always, as more studio numbers arrive this AM, the chart below will be updated accordingly to reflect the best estimates we can give you.
PREVIOUSLY, Friday, 11:40 PM: Three times a charm for Universal's buddy pic Ride Along which is cruising in the No. 1 spot yet again with an estimated $11.5M to $11.8M weekend (based on early Friday estimates). Newcomer That Awkward Moment in the No. 2 spot right behind it with maybe $10.8M. Frozen which debuts its sing-a-long version on 2,057 of its play dates, looks to take third place this weekend to pull in yet another $8.9M for Disney as the picture is the holiday gift that just doesn't stop giving. It's in its 11th week. Crazy good for everyone except those bleary-eyed parents who are going to be dragged into the theaters for the third consecutive time after a long work week to be serenaded by a 100 screaming children. Fourth and fifth place will go to Open Road's The Nut Job and Lone Survivor, respectively. Lone Survivor passed the $100M mark for Universal and Emmett Furla. Congrats! That Awkward Moment which stars Zach Efron is tracking the highest for girls 12 to 16 years old, but the movie is ... um, rated R. Awkward.
Efron still delivers an audience on a consistent basis. American Hustle should top last year's Oscar contender Silver Linings Playbook this weekend for a total cume of $133.5M to become director David O. Russell's highest domestic grosser movie yet.
