Chutes didn't open and impact looks like it broke the sucker apart. Don't know whether to hope the samples survived or not.

Looks like they are hopeful about it, and not all the samples were damaged.

Sevilla said experts are "peeling back the layers of the onion," using a flashlight and a small mirror on a stick to explore inside the fractured, garbage-can-sized capsule. A prime particle-gathering device "appears intact," he said, and another appears to be "in very good condition."
​
But pieces of the fragile collectors are "strewn about the canister," so scientists are being very methodical about extracting them.
​
"It is amazing given the amount of breach in the canister just how clean it is inside" Sevilla said. "We're not talking about great clods of dirt."

The most priceless thing was the headlines.
