Passes $20M and tomorrow it will overtake Return To Silent Hill to become the highest grossing foreign movie of the year.

Other stuff:
The next Holywood release is Mario on April 3rd followed by Devil Wears Prada 2 on the 30th.
Super Mario Opening Day Pre-Sales
I do have to continue to note that against Mario and Minecraft the comparison is skewed because the opening day was the Holiday itself while for Galaxy the Holiday is the Monday at tail end of the weekend.
However the pace has not exactly been setting the world on fire here. We will get our first opening day projections tomorrow.
Full 4 day weekend pre-sales hit $260k

Remember Want To See is not pre-sales. Its just an anticipation metric. A checkbox of sorts saying your interested in an upcoming movie.
Not all movies are included since a lot are just too small to be worth covering.
