Summer Box Office, we hardly new ye.

The Big Labor Day Weekend is here!!! Apparently this is one of the SLOWEST weekends of the year, but it's a 4 day Holiday weekend, so we're doubling the points for the Final Round.

Two new films join some seasoned vetrans and last weeks weak entries. O - the modern day Othello set in a high school, and Jeepers Creepers, a horror film directed by a registered sex offinder (not a joke), both open wide. JC will appear in about 2900 theaters while O has 1400 locations.

Pick the top 5 movies for the 4 day weekend, Fri - Mon, and their grosses. All points will be doubled. Considering how hard it will be to get everything right again this weekend, there could be as many as 250 points for a single player this week.

The Number 1 movie tie-breaker will be the player who was the most accurate with their winning picks.

No decision yet on a Most Points tie-breaker.

Good luck to us all. :)

2 American Pie 2 - 11.59
3 The Others - 11.14
4 Jeepers Creepers - 9.31

Whatever BoxOffice Guru picks as top five and dollars, that's my pick.

In other words I have NO idea, so that will do me.

Except for me :P I am glad I took Jeepers Creepers I guess I will win #1 movie this weekend, I doubt I will win though since I fell behind with my picks the last two weeks. By the way was I the only one who picked Jeepers Creepers? Did anybody post their picks on CCnet and not here?

I went to a party last night and completly forgot about posting my guesses!! Damn, I really wanted to play this last weekend. I can't believe I forgot. I had a chance to post at work but I decided to wait until I got home. I was so busy today I didn't even remember about the contest until a few minutes ago. Woe is me. :(
