Box Office Contest Round 2 - May 11

[Darth23]

Time to do it again.

It's a long season so it's not too late start playing.

Guess the Top 5 movies for the weekend (May 11 - 13) and how much those movies will gross. Guesses should be to the nearest 10k.

[edit - I'll probaly post the points list in every new Contest thread]

Muchas gracias por los entres(?) esta semana.


I'll have everyone's picks posted sometime today.

[Darth23]

Uh oh - Mu and Yad's both picked 12.5 for a Knight's Tale.

Yad's was first so Mu's guess won't count for the gross if that turns out to be the winning amount.

CMJ and RHJediKnight had the same guess for Bridget Jones's Diary - CMJ was first.

[CMJ]

MUMMY RETURNS off 58%. My prediction looks pretty good right now.

[JonathanLB]

Mummy Returns fell like a rock. It's second weekend is looking a lot like TPM's third weekend. How sad.

I doubt it makes half as much as The Phantom Menace despite opening more than 5% higher.

[Darth23]

Big Movie-itis.

Most of the people who wanted to see it piled into the theaters last week. I just saw it - it's not that good. Maybe it woudl have appreciated it more if I had seen the first one. :p


(Probably not)

[JonathanLB]

Yeah, you are right Darth, you would have appreciated it more, but only because the first one was even suckier than the second! :)

Yeah, it is definitely not that good. I enjoyed seeing it for the effects and because it was something to do, plus it had a nice "cool factor," except for the annoying little kid (makes me appreciate the dude from Sixth Sense, Haley whatever). The first film was about a 2.5 star film, but a suck-fest as far as plot and dialogue are concerned. The second is just barely a three star movie, and probably that's being generous, because it certainly doesn't earn its stars on acting and plot either.
