BOX OFFICE
(Universal)
Snow White and the Huntsman is projected to earn an estimated $55 million in its opening weekend, trouncing previous box office #1 Men In Black 3.
The action-packed fairy tale re-imagining, starring Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron, parlayed strong midnight screenings into a $21 million Friday, and it's currently cruising toward an easy overall victory.
Men In Black 3 should remain a strong #2 with approximately $29 million in box office receipts, crossing the $100 million mark overall.
In its fifth week, The Avengers is still popular enough for third place, and will add $19 million or so to its enormous cumulative domestic earnings, which have already crossed the half-billion dollar mark.
The chart takes a big drop after the Top 3.
A quartet of holdovers ' The Dictator, Battleship, What to Expect When You're Expecting and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel ' are all expected to fall into the $4.5-5 million range.
Johnny Depp vampire flick Dark Shadows is tracking toward $3.5 million, giving it the #8 spot.
After that, it's nuclear fallout horror movie Chernobyl Diaries ($2.8 million) at #9 and The Hunger Games ($2 million) ' approaching the $400 million overall mark ' in the #10 spot.

I saw it yesterday with some friends and plan on seeing it again on Sunday with Hubby. The theater was PACKED! Whoever said that guys don't like Kristen Stewart is an idiot. There were tons of guys without any chicks at my theater :)

Can't wait to see what the foreign box office will be for SWATH. It will definetely pass the $100,000,000 mark total domestic & foreign this weekend. At the very least.
-
so happy for Kristen
-
I wish that SWATH had a better review average but top critics and people who saw the film seem to love it. I thought the script could have been better but everyone's acting was great! Love how it ended because it allows for a sequel.
-
Lucky you !!! Damn!!! It's not fair. I haven't seen it yet. I still have to wait for few days.
-
omg im so proud of kristen she was incredible in it i love her and everyone in the movie was amazing

Hell yeah!!!! Congrats to Kristen, Chris, Charlize, Sam, and the brillirant kick ass director Rupert Sanders. I have seen SWATH 3 times now, and it's spectacular.

-
Congrats Kristen, Chris, and Charlize! What an excellent movie! And what an amazing movie for first time director Rupert Sanders! The visuals were amazing. Best CGI out there!
-
Haters to the left!
-
I read some bloggers review about how he only saw bella in the entire movie. What a load of crap! She made the perfect badass snow white. No one else could have done as good or better. Whoever says that snow and bella were played the same is just dumb
-
I have not been, but I'll be there with the whole family '. ''..
-
I am taking my 11yr old son to see Swath today and he is excited and congrats to beautiful and talented Kristen on a job well done for her first big movie away from all the twilight madness and imo she will have a long,great career in hollywood!
-
I'm betting it will make more than $55,000,000 in the states this weekend.
Fri- $21,000,000
Sat-$25,000,000
Sun-$15,000,000
Total-$61,000,000Men in Black III made just under $55,000,000 so SWATH should be able to beat that easily.

Saw it yesterday and will see couple of times more. It was amazing! Though the script could have been better and the film coule have been shorter. But really worth it! Proud of Kristen!
