Deadline reports that after weeks of unimpressive tracking, things have finally turned around for Universal after a sudden increase in interest looks set to secure
Snow White and the Huntsman a $50 million weekend (despite predictions of around $40 million from the studio). Shown at 1,092 locations, it took an impressive $1.383M at midnight screenings last night in North America. This is a good start and noteworthy due to the fact that it beat
Men in Black 3's (a 3D sequel) per-screen average. The pressure is on for the Universal film to succeed after the disappointing opening of
Battleship a few weeks ago. Click
