Death Candy Steve Mason is reporting that Roland Emmerich 's 2012 made $25 million yesterday and is looking at a $60 million weekend total. Variety said it might go well over $40 million, and I predicted the high 40s and maybe a nudge over $50 million -- and we were both too cautious. Everyone was. Robert Zemeckis and Jim Carrey 's A Christmas Carol took in $5.5 million yesterday -- a "decent" hold -- with an expected $20.4 million weekend tally and a 10-day cume of just under $50 million. The big indie story is Lee Daniels ' Precious (Lionsgate) taking in $1.75 ...

2012 (Review)
cutprintreview.com 11/10/2009 — Like a super-sized version of The Day After Tomorrow, 2012 is spectacularly loud, laughably ludicrous and insanely entertaining for all the wrong reasons.
