[Darth23]

One month to go - heading into the home stretch.

Rush Hour 2 looks to open big this week, the G rated Disney film The Princess Diaries will also appear, along with the Angela 'Lara' Jolie and Antonio 'Spy Kids'? Banderas sexy - romatic - thriller thing: Original Sin.

Rush Hour 2 will reportedly open in 3100 theaters, Princess Diaries will have 2500 and 2100 for Original Sin.

No predictions from Lee this week - I think he's travellign ro something - you guys should know where the BO Guru site is by now. :D I'm sure there are some other BO prediction sites out there, I don't have the url's though.


You know the drill:

Post your picks for the top five movies for the weekend along with the weekend gross for each movie.

Deadline 3AM Saturday morning EDT - 12:00 midnight PDT

[JonathanLB]

haha, BO Guru stole my prediction from a few weeks ago. $45 million, definitely. Sounds solid.

LOL, I love your commentary, "Original Stupidity." Dang that movie looks dumb, but if Angelina is hot in it, which she is, it's hard to knock it ;)

This looks like a tough week. There are some potential surprises out there. Will RH2 surprise the industry and open with 50+? Will Original Sin open so poorly that even AS outdoes it? I think JMC may be on to something and I'm going to go with him. Here's my prediction:

[Jedi Master Carr]

Some of the critics are calling Original Sin the worst film of the year. Realize this film was made 2 years ago and was suppose to come out last year. It got push back to now much like Town and Country. The trailers look awful so I think it won't even make a dent at the box office.

[YadsLH 2]

Rush Hour 2: 40.75
POTA: 31.01
Princess Diaries: 15.2
JP3: 11.12
Original Sin: 11.01

[ReaperFett]

IMO, the trailers look great :)

[Darth23]

11 players - Fridays numbers should be up soon.

[sirdizzy]

actually technically yads picks are in 3 hours too late

[Darth23]

Maybe they would be if this board was on pacific time.

[DaBoSsNaStY]

lol... good point darth23:)

well it looks like RH2 it on its way to make well over 50 million!! lol.. and POTA looks like it on its way to make less than half what it made last week, and resting on a 25 to 27 million over the three day weekend. So, it would seem that POTA will not have that much for legs at the boxoffice...

I know most people don't like this link.. but it so far the only place that I see that has Fridays Numbers up...

www.showbizdata.com/ (http://www.showbizdata.com/)

here is another site that has the top three:p

www.the-numbers.com/ (http://www.the-numbers.com/)

[sirdizzy]

why is the baord down does anyone know i tried to go through hotrage and that was down too

[Darth23]

Either it's a DNS problem with the new server, or its the Code Red virus attack, or some combination of the two.

Out Backup board is here:

5 AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS - 8.40
6 ORIGINAL SIN - 6.40
7 LEGALLY BLONDE - 6.06


Looks like Ms. Mu had a very good weekend.

[sirdizzy]

thats not the big story though while it does appear that mu will get the #1 and #2 picks the big story is that darth23 will be blanked for the 3rd straight week and that dizzy will get a weekend gross for the 5th weekend inv a row narrowing the lead by another 25 points and making a 15 point game

YEAAAAAA DIZYYYYYYYYYYYYY ;)

[Darth23]

I think I'll let you lose by 5 points.

:D

[sirdizzy]

who won the contest last year and with how many points

i figure me and you are on a path to 900 points (maybe more depending on how labor day double points go) which is an average of 50 points a weekend for 18 weekends

[Darth23]

There's wasn't a contest last year - not one with points and prizes anyway.
