[CMJ]

At least I'm not in last place. :)

[Darth23]

True, I'm not sure how real Albi's picks were though.

:p

[Jedi Master Carr]

Wow, I didn't do that bad and I'm in third. I agree Darth it was a little weird that our predictions were that close, I'm glad I changed otherwise you would have won :p I guess you will have to make a new post for next week now. I think there is only one new wide release, A Knights Tale. I doubt it will be #1 but I am sure the TMR's gross will drop heavily.

[Darth23]

If Knights Tale is number one, that will be more of a shock than The Mummy Returns performace last weekend. Even if TMR drops 60% it will still pull in 27 million.

[Albi Wan Yankovi]

I'll try harder this time ;)

[Darth23]

I think we're a year early for any Star Wars movies to be inthe theaters.

:p
