Hard weekend. I'm especially iffy on whether TSOTTP or LODT will be #5.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah those bottom two are going to be hard to predict.

[Jedi Master Carr]

1. Revenge of the Sith - 28.44M
2. Madagascar - 27.88M
3. Cinderella Man - 25.03M
4. The Longest Yard - 21.11M
5. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - 14.72M

[Yog]

1. Cinderella Man 26.22M
2. Revenge of the Sith 24.22M
3. Madagascar 23.22M
4. The Longest Yard 22.22M
5. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 10.22M

Hopefully, it wont be this bad and ROTS keeps the #1 spot, but I'll put my SW geekfactor to the side, and try to predict objectively. Madagascar is a threat. Longest Yard on the other hand should not hold as well as Madagascar. Cinderella Man looks very good. The trailer, screenplay, actor and director smells Oscars. Good scores at RT too. Sisterhood trailer was a long moment of "bleh", but its a girlie movie, not something for me obviously. Lords of Dogtown looks absolutely horrible.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think the top 3 are going to be very close.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Here are the estimates

LONGEST YARD THE 9.1 79.0
MADAGASCAR 8.5 80.9
STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH 7.3 290.2
CINDERELLA MAN 6.1 6.1
SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS, THE 3.8 7.6
LORDS OF DOGTOWN 2.7 2.7
MONSTER-IN-LAW 1.6 66.8
CRASH 1.0 38.7
KICKING & SCREAMING .6 45.9
UNLEASHED .3 23.0
Two things shock me first TLY I figure that drop hard, I don't think it will be #1 both Madagascar and Sith will beat it on Saturday and Sunday and it might end up #3 for the weekend, but still why is it making so much money on Fridays? Second Cinderally man it looks like low 20's right now and a fourth place finish which is slightly surprising as well. The other films fit as I saw both Sith and Madgascar fighting it out between 26-28 million for #1.
