Doesn't Price Caspian's 78 Million in DVD sales only include 2008....which is basically just the month of Dec. And that was also just in the U.S.

So it had higher DVD sales than that didn't it?

What were the DVD sales of LWW?

Here are the official DVD sales figures for both PC and LWW from The Numbers website. They are for the US only.

PC - $78,299,031 - http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/2008/NARN2-DVD.php
LWW - $352,816,574 - http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/2005/LWWRB-DVD.php

VDT dropped -5.8% to $77,024 on Tuesday, but who really cares now?

The only milestone we have left domestically is to pass Journey to the Center of the Earth. I will use the same drops/increases it had last weekend.

Wednesday: $58,769 (-23.7%)
Thursday: $65,880 (+12.1%)

Friday: $156,597 (+137.7%)
Saturday: $331,594 (+117.5%)
Sunday: $176,408 (-46.8%)
(Weekend: $664,599)

Monday: $39,868 (-77.4%)
Tuesday: $37,556 (-5.8%)
Wednesday: $28,655 (-23.7%)
Thursday: $32,122 (+12.1%)

And that puts us at $101,706,626, about $2,000 ahead of JTTCOTE. Give or take, we have about 9 days left.

It's pretty sad that we're still waiting for VDT to pass JttCotE - such a mediocre movie and VDT will barely pass it! Kinda like this situation with disgusting Yogi Bear.

Well, nobody likes VDT just scraping past $100M, but things could have been a lot worse (especially after that mortifying opening weekend).

Yogi is certainly irritating though. The opening was a complete bomb, and we all pumped our fist at that since it was VDT's key competitor, yet it's holding so well (a 6x multipliier???) that its final gross will come within 10 mil of VDT's!

Yogi Bear's opening was 18.4% of its current gross. If VDT had done the same, it would be at $130 million now!

But Yogi Bear is an original film, whereas VDT is a sequel. That makes a big difference, because with sequels there is more of a rush factor. I'm trying to think of the last sequel that had a 4X multiplier. My guess is that it has been a while.

Slightly good news.

Tomorrow, one multiplex in town that was only playing VDT in 3D in one screen is GAINING a second screen. It is in the 2D movie. Which costs less to view- but this may attract more viewers.

No losses in my county otherwise for this weekend.

My guess is that Yogi is doing very well since it skews very, very, young. There's nothing out there that caters to that crowd. Gulliver has the rarely kid-friendly Jack Black, Tron is for teens, VDT is for older kids, and Tangled has been out for more than 2 mos. That just leaves Yogi for pre-schoolers and young elementary kids.

VDT is for older kids? The movie could've fooled me. The script suggested it was catering to pre-schoolers and young kids.

^ Me and my friends enjoyed the movie, but we're definitely no pre-schoolers or young kids. Considering the fact that we're in college, and my friends are very much into more darker, scarier movies, I think that VDT actually performed really quite well in order for them to say they actually liked it

Anyway, I'm happy with the fact that Narnia 3 has passed the 100 million dollar point. Yay! Yogi Bear's performance is just... strange.

VDT and Narnia in general are certainly NOT for pre-schoolers. The Chronicles of Narnia are in the Juvenile Fiction section- which ranges from third to ninth grade in general (BIG range, I know, and there are some flukes in both ends, such as Junie B. Jones and Gulliver's Travels). There are some Easy Reader books based on parts of the Narnia movies- but they are the exception AND are at the upper level of the EZR (aimed at 2nd and 3rd graders who are pretty much ready for short chapter books but not quite for the regular Narnia books). In fact, I only booktalk HHB with kids in 4th grade and up.

Plus the movie is almost 2 hours long- most movies aimed at preschoolers and kids in lower elementary school tend to be under an hour and a half long (a friend complained that Ratatouille was way too long for her 7 year old niece- not to mention the story being too convoluted and the jokes flying over little kids' heads). A colleague has a 6 year old son- and I was the first one to acknowledge that VDT/Narnia was a bit too sophisticated for that age. A friend (albeit who dislikes science/sci-fi/fantasy) took her 7 and 5 year old sons to see Tron as part of a birthday party for her eldest's classmate- she said it was torture and not suitable for 7 year olds, let alone younger kids.

In conclusion, Narnia is NOT for preschoolers or lower elementary schoolers. I would say at least third grade and up- perhaps some more advanced second graders can deal with it, but many cannot.

For the weekend, Dawn Treader only has to make more than $774,534 to make it past Journey to the center of the Earth and make Narnia Walden's top three movies. Can it do it? Well see

Its theater count dropped quite a bit this weekend (732 theaters), but not as low as I had feared. With two new wide releases and two others seeing significant expansion, I thought that it might be worse.

Despite knowing several older people who enjoyed the movie, I agree with Warrior4Jesus that the movie seemed like it was catering to preschoolers and young children. The books and the previous movies were much more mature.

From the simplistic and senseless decisions the characters make, the cheesy and dumbed down dialogue, the obvious statement of the story's themes, the endless attempts to be "cute" with the talking animals, and the lighting and overall feel of the film in general...it just felt really kiddish.

Guys, i don't think the film was catering to 4 and 5 years old. If it was doing that, I don't think we would have had the lengthy scene with the sea serpent. If you're talking about 8-to-10 year olds, that's one thing, but certainly no younger. My point was that Yogi skews much younger than the other movies that I mentioned. Compare Yogi to Narnia. It's very clear that one is going after the Barney/Elmo set.
