Klady is going to do a 4-day tomorrow.

Nothing really surprising since yesterday from my perspective.

The Lovely Bones, by studio estimate, had a nice 10% bump on Saturday... which probably means that a younger audience is finding the film, as was the marketing intent.

One thing that has caught my eye is that Brothers has quietly grossed over $28 million, which puts Oscar chasers An Education, Nine, A Serious Man, and The Messenger in the financial rear view. I am pretty well convinced that had Lionsgate treated this movie as an equal to Precious instead of as an afterthought (I finally got a screener... 4 days ago... and not from Lionsgate, but from Relativity Media), it would have outgrossed Precious and would have had a real shot at a nomination... and Tobey Maguire would have been a lock for a Best Actor nod.
