They're $9.00 for evening showtimes here in South Florida, too, and $7.75 for matinees.  Pretty much the going rate everywhere down here.
No more beans!

All it indicates is a sign that there is a built-in audience. 

E*X*A*C*T*L*Y all those people who loved the novel (and believe me they are legion) and act as though it is fact instead of fiction will flock to see it in the next week.  Opening BO is going to be huge just because of this...I predict matinees next week will be strong as well

$9?  Where ever you're goin your gettin ripped...
Here in Canada the only theatre that offers tickets for less than $12.50 for new showings - are the matinees - and they're only available on weekends - at least here in Toronto. The canadian dollar is only worth 10% less than the american $ now
They're $9.00 for evening showtimes here in South Florida, too, and $7.75 for matinees.  Pretty much the going rate everywhere down here.

Well here in sunny and warm  ;) San Diego County...It's $9 in the evening and $7 for matinees unless you're a card carrying student a senior or a member of the armed forces in uniform then it's $5.75 for both

Okay, I have decided that we are getting thoroughly ripped off here in Oz. The cheapest you'll get a movie for at my local theatre is $8.00 (seniors card holder). The cheapest I'LL ever get a movie at my local theatre is $10.00 and that's only if I go between 10am - 4pm Mon - Fri (which I can't do cause I work) and the price I pay to a see a movie ordinarily??? $13.50.

Humph, if you venture into the city to catch one, is $15.00.

Just read an article in my favourite (French) newspaper, a satirical paper. I haven't read the DV code, haven't seen the film, and don't intend to do neither. But I think I am after all grateful for their existence and huge success, if only because the Vatican and its clowns are sh*tting themselves.
Apparently, they are asking all 'good Christians' not to sit and turn the other cheek, but to retaliate. (Isn't it funny how the Catholic church, like any other, will forget what they preach, when their power seems to be threatened? Just like when they burnt down cinemas in France and Germany, maybe elsewhere too, when Scorsese's "Last Temptation of Christ" was shown).
They are alarmed to hear that polls in the US and France show that christians are beginning to doubt the Catholic faith because of that story. So now, in the name of faith, the RCC is asking Christians NOT to believe that story!
Well, at least they get a taste of what atheists feel when they say the Bible and the Gospels are just nice works of fiction that do not need to be believed!

$77 million weekend....the biggest opening so far this year and the 13th highest ever!

It also made $147 million overseas....

Doing pretty good despite the critical like or dislike....but as you said...next weekend will be the real judge...there is absolutely no way that it will come in #1 with X-3 opening but it will easily squeeze in #2....so we'll see...

Doesn't surprise me a bit.  Bet there's a lot of butt shifting happening in those seats and queries of "how long is this anyway?" by the midpoint.  Guess this is one film where you can understandably turn the other cheek and ignore the audience snoring and heavy sighs. 

True, the trailer for X is stunning but let's not forget the huge YUCK factor, and we all know what that is:  Brett. Ratner.
