"Shrek the Third" followed this year's pattern of threequels taking big
drops
in the second weekend. Although S3's drop doesn't seem as bad as the drop
"Spider-Man 3" took. I think S3 has a good shot at reaching the 300M
mark.
In contrast, "Paprika"'s performance surprised me. A huge
per-theater-average
of $22,714, comparable to Miyazaki movies and far and above the opening of
any
other Sato**** Kon movie. Maybe the word of mouth on this movie caught on
like
wildfire, or maybe the opening in only two theaters drove up the demand.
I
hope this opening will prompt Sony to give "Paprika" a nationwide release.
