And I see that the weekend box office estimates are up. Now, these are a silly thing, they release these on Sunday morning, which means that they feel that it&#8217;s so important to post some sort of total today that they can&#8217;t wait for the weekend to actually be over. But let&#8217;s look at the silly number: they are guessing that the film will end the weekend with a gross of $45 million dollars. That&#8217;s pretty good, especially for a G-rated movie. How good? It&#8217;s the second highest opening weekend gross ever for a G-rated film. In fact, if it turns out to be the slightest underestimate, if they&#8217;re rounding down, if the real total ends up being a fraction of .1% of that, if they earn just $12,999 more than that says, it will be the biggest non-Pixar G film opening ever. Or to look at it another way:\u00a0$45 million is more than last weekend&#8217;s top five films combined.<\/p>\n<p>One detail I caught on the second view: we actually get a name for the Little Red-Haired Girl. If you look closely at the sheet of test results, you&#8217;ll see (among other Peanuts names; 5 is on there) an entry for &#8220;Heather Wold&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;Heather&#8221; being the name given to a red-haired girl (we can discuss whether it&#8217;s The LR-HG) in\u00a0<em>It&#8217;s Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown<\/em>, &#8220;Wold&#8221; being the married last name of Donna Mae Johnson, the object of Schulz&#8217;s affection who was the real-life inspiration for the character.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m just back from my second viewing of\u00a0The Peanuts Movie (the kids wanted to see it), this time in 2-D&#8230; and I was right, it works just fine in 2-D.
