The second weekend of 2012 looks better than we forecast (Contraband and Beauty and the Beast 3D are ahead of the ShowBuzzDaily weekend predictions), but the weekend is still looking pretty soft. The top 12 films should total about $113 million, down 2% from the same weekend last year (which was pretty bad). More important, this weekend is down 21% from the average comparable weekend over the past several years.
Beauty and the Beast 3D is also exceeding our prediction: opening with almost $6 million Friday on its way to almost $19 million for Friday-Sunday, ahead of the $14 million prediction. The 3D re-issue is headed for $87 million total domestic.
Joyful Noise is more in line with our expectations: over $3 million Friday and almost $11 million this weekend, just under the $12 million forecast.
