That really is a big number.
But it still isn't the best.

Awesome! That is amazing! If you do the math that is about 1.7% of the nation! I haven't got my copy yet and now I have to probally wait till next Friday because I have to buy on eof my friends a birthday present so that means I'll be short of money for this weekend but I will have enough money next weekend because I want this movie so much!

I don't know if I'll buy the movie, had it on pre-order then realized that was the widecreen version. The books are so much better...the movies have diverged too far
