[Jedi Master Carr]

Yog taking a chance. I don't see both of them tanking that badly. I think one will be in the top 3. I was tempted to put Mama Mia above X Files.

The Dark Knight was not able to beat its monday number, but it should have 70M+ at least. The biggest second weekend ever, and it's still comfortably moving towards a possible 500M overall gross. Should beat the 300M mark by sunday as projected earlier, which is a record (10 days vs DMC's 16 days). I think it will beat the 400M record as well (43 days Shrek 2).

I was wrong about Step Brothers, could have close to 30M. X-Files though bombed even bigger than I thought. Should do about 10M. Mamma Mia is holding well, could make 17-18M. Journey is fighting a close race vs Hancock, but will probably beat it in the end, they could both make close to 8M.

[Yog]

I will be offline from sunday to 7 august spending time at summer place, so I won't be able to post my week 14 picks in time. If someone could post them for me, I would greatly appreciate it. I'll go with BOM derby averages, which will be updated at this link on wednesday or thursday probably:

Thanks.

[Jedi Master Carr]

ok cool I will post them for you. TDK should make at least 75 this weekend. Shoot I should have went with X-Files bombing but I thought it do at least upper teens.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Well I guess this counts as one of my 'low' weekends, as I was on vacation and forgot completely about this. :lol

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well I am going to start throwing out weekend this week, giving everybody some kind of idea where they will be at.

Not much changed with the top two since both Liam and Yog got the most points. I counted out everybody lowest weekend so everybody can get an idea of what things look like. Not much changes removing one weekend.
