Div 1/2

The Social Network – $37 M
Let Me In – $20 M
Case 39 – $6 M

Division 3:

Freakonomics – $150 K

If Mike responds he’s ok with adding Chain Letter, then I’m ok with it. However, since it wasn’t in the original list, it wouldn’t be fair to permit it otherwise…

If Mike says ok, I would put Chain Letter on top of the limited list with $500 K

(additionally, I’ve added some more theater counts above…and Chain Letter opens on 401 FYI)
