Monsters, Inc.
Makes $12 Million on Second Friday
(by digitalmediafx.com) Monsters, Inc. made $12 million on
Friday, starting off strong in its second week in release. The $12 million
easily sets Monsters, Inc. up to win the weekend at #1 again before
it is dethroned next Friday by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,
which several analysts worldwide believe will top Titanic as the
highest grossing film of all time.
Last Friday, Monsters, Inc. made $17.4 million on its way to breaking the record for the highest grossing animated opening of all time. The $12 million it made this past Friday is a respectable drop of 31%.
In its first eight
days of release, Monsters, Inc. easily roared by Disney's summer
animated movie Atlantis: The Lost Empire, which took an entire
summer to reach its near-final box office tally of $84 million. Monsters,
Inc. has made $88.6 million to date.
Fox Kids Afternoon
Cartoons Fail
(by digitalmediafx.com) Fox Kids afternoon cartoon lineup has failed
to bring the desired viewers and advertisers to the company, forcing it
to give that time slot back to affiliate stations versus forcing them
to carry the programing. Beginning January 1, 2002 affiliates will be
able to fill the time slot with their own desired programming.
More Pictures
of Disciples 2
(by digitalmediafx.com) Digital Media FX has obtained some more pictures
of the computer game Disciples 2, which will be released early next year.
