"The previous biggest one-two punch that any studio had was last year (when Warner Bros.') Ocean's Eleven opened to $38.1 million Dec. 7-9 and Harry Potter's fourth week was $14.7 million (giving them a combined total of $52.8 million)."

On top of all that good news, Blake added, "We have a little picture called Spider-Man, which hit $400 million. The Friday-Saturday-Sunday is $2.2 million, down 15 percent. We're in 1,502 screens (with an average of) $1,465. And we're at $400.1 million. The five day (total for) Spider-Man was $3.2 million. There's probably about $5 million or so left (to be grossed), I would imagine, (which should bring it to) $405-410 million. It's only the third film to hit $400 million in its release, joining Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace and Titanic. Star Wars and E.T. got there with multiple releases."

All told, Blake said, "These three pictures add up to $75.1 million for Friday-Saturday-Sunday and $119.5 million for five days. So I think by any calculation that's over 50 percent of the market."

As for the overall July Fourth marketplace, he observed, "It looks like a record to me. It looks like about $150 million Friday-Saturday-Sunday and about $235 million five day period (and) that's a record by a good amount."

Asked where Mr. Deeds is heading in domestic theaters, Blake replied, "We're feeling good at about $125-130 million. That puts Adam Sandler right back where we want him."
