According to early estimates, Hotel Transylvania -- boasting a voice cast led by Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Selena Gomez -- grossed an estimated $11 million on Friday for a $38 million to $40 million weekend. The 3D toon earned an A- CinemaScore overall, and an A from females and kids under the age of 18.

By all accounts, Hotel Transylvania, costing $85 million to produce, should score the best September opening of all time, beating current record-holder Sweet Home Alabama ($35.6 million) and marking a key victory for Sony's animation division (it will be the unit's top debut).

Spotlight 2.0
I hope it's mainstream enough

Lool mte. Absolutely no one is here for that.



And how would you all rate HT's promo? A lot of it was based on TIFF(interviews). I was not expecting it to pull ~40

Same. I think they should have done more talk shows. I really wanted her and Andy to do Ellen together. Also The View,Kelly & Micheal and Rachael Ray wouldn't have hurt. More promo from the other cast members would have been good too. The promo was still really good I can't hate.

I would have loved if Selena had done like a countdown and just hyped eveyrone up!!! She needs to use her twitter as a PRtool more! Or atleast let others tweet for her.

Meh, I won't believe it until I hear it. I remember when she said that AYWR was gonna have a reggae sound and the only thing close to "reggae" was Spotlight. But I'm excited that she's kinda hyping it!

Her Q&A right now >>>>>

40 Mill
If they had actually done more promo as listed above, HT could have hit a 40-50 range

[Musiclover1987]

I hope it has legs and crosses 100 million!

It had a higher friday than "cloudy" and cloudy ended up doing 130 million.


Knocks on wood!!!
