Today's estimates are for the five-day Thanksgiving holiday period from Wednesday through Sunday. Grinch had the highest per-theater average for any film playing in wide release last weekend. This movie will be an immense success for every area of the studio. Brian Grazer and Ron Howard have delivered an incredible early Christmas present and we couldn't be more grateful. We can't say the weather was bad because the weather was decent everywhere.
People are in the holiday spirit.
Grinch certainly is a holiday movie. Directed by Ron Howard and produced by Brian Grazer, Grinch stars Jim Carrey. Buena Vista Distribution president Chuck Viane said Sunday morning. This obviously blows it away. It's a great holiday.
