mission impossible ghost protocol midnight showings

Everybody must have wanted to see what all the fuss was about after the Duchess of Alba went to see it…

Even though it only premiered on 425 screens last night, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol brought in an impressive $1.1 million for midnight showings…thanks largely to the new Dark Knight Rises preview.

Here's what a Paramount executive had to say about it:

"This is a great start. It’s a pretty compelling package given how strong early sales were for midnight shows, IMAX asked to open Thursday evening to get the word of mouth started."

"Since the plan was getting people to see the film early, we gladly said OK."

Congratulations to the entire Ghost Protocol team! We have a feeling they'll make a WHOLE LOT more money…especially since the reviews have been GREAT so far!!!

Did U catch a midnight showing of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol? If not, will U see it this weekend???

wow $2500. per screen thats about 180 people per screen that surely does not qualify as "Everybody must have wanted to see what all the fuss " unless EVERYBODY is defined as 76000 people out of a population of 100's of millions

Justin Bieber's Plea Deal For His Egging Case Requires That He Attend Anger Management!

Justin Bieber has to attend anger management classes as a caveat of his plea bargain in his scandalous egging case!

That's right! That's 12 weeks of classes with a minimum of 1 per week. That's one week for every egg in a carton!

Not only that, but he has to pay his former neighbor who he yolk soaked $80,900 as part of the deal that he pled no contest to.

In fact, he pled no contest to misdemeanor vandalism, and as a result is now placed on 2 years of probation, and has to perform 5 days of labor! Can Bizzle stay out of trouble for 2 whole years?
