And now that I've had the chance to analyze the charts it looks like the news only gets better because DS not only came in 21st for the week, but it actually beat
Battleship by close to $85,000. The so-called experts who even just a few weeks ago were forecasting that
Battleship would surely eventually best DS' domestic gross were apparently way off because that film is currently trailing DS by $12,506,126 - and considering they're both at a point in their runs when they're bringing in under $1 million a week, that sort of lead is virtually impossible to overtake - especially if DS continues to best
Battleship for the remaining weeks they might be in theaters. But then, quite often one has to wonder what the so-called experts are thinking?
And I also see that it's looking like DS ranked 18th for Tuesday with $71,202, 22nd for Wednesday - even though it brought in a bit more with $73,527, and 21st for Friday with $67,909, which combined now brings its current domestic gross to $76,555,971.
Apparently, as I had hoped, losing those 62 theaters to
The Amazing Spider-Man didn't really do damage.
