awesome movie
that’s because a lot students right now have Finals so a lot less. last year the movie came out right after finals and all the students wanted to go relax and watch a movie. I’m just saying that that is one demographic that did not go out this weekend to a watch a movie.

@marie: I was just about to post the same thing. The first film opened on Christmas Day so it’s understandable that it made more on it’s first weekend. It seems like all this hoopla over the box office numbers is nothing but a lot of wind blowing and writers jumping the gun on a non-story.
We saw the movie on Friday and loved it.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!! I LOVE THESE BOYZ!!!!
I can’t wait to see it. I just loved SNL and Jude was great, he is really a funny man.
i hope i can see this movie in cinema looking forward to it

We saw Sherlock Holmes yesterday, and I’m planning to see it again sometime this week. Jude’s a perfect Watson.

i saw sherlock twice. what an entertaining movie. jude and robert are absolutely the best couple on the screen. they are magical great cinematography, just a wonderful film. bravo guy ritchie, jude and robert….
LOL at the fan club posting here giving excuses as to why the movie did far lower than the studio projections. Truth is the film isn’t as good as the first. Even Mission Impossible exceeded Sherlock in per screen average. Sherlock was expensive to make, it should’ve made a lot more this weekend given the amount of theaters it opened at.
