Okay same rules as last week pick 1-5 and guess how much money they will make. The only two new movies this weekend is Unfaithful and The New Guy neither looks too promising. Also its not too late to join in the fun if you didn't do it last week you can still do it.

Yeah I think so:p It does look pretty bad like a bad version of Fatal Attraction.

LOL..good call it was my guess for last week. I figure I had the LOWEST guess out of the whole board last week...so I'll have the highest this week. The fact that there's little competition this go round helps out. :)

But comic book films usually have huge fall offs, X-Men which most everybody liked dropped almost 60% the next weekend, I think all the Batman movies had steep drops and I know Blade and Blade 2 did plus I don't see huge amounts of repeat buisness. I also think my number is an excellent second weekend for it really, most movies don't open that high.

Hey man, I didn't say I'd be right...I'm going out on a limb here. :) But I need to if I wanna make up some ground on the leaders...gotta take some chances. ;)

Jedi Master Carr

Now maybe I shouldn't have said that people might use that to their advantage :p Hey I might not be right either who knows, I think I was saying that more to justify my guess.

Hey, I've got an idea. Why don't we follow some of the rules foursomes and duos have to follow in golf. Mainly, if you win a week then you have to post your guesses first. The top three finishers would have to post their guesses in that order. Then we wouldn't have people camping out right towards the end and working off other people's guesses every week.

holy mackrel the original estimates put me winning #1 again this weekend damn i'm good

Jedi Master Carr
May 12th, 2002, 10:33:08 PM
Don't get too optomistic I suspect they are off by a couple of million, I can't see it doing well today considering it is Mother's Day and there are three of you with estimates around 70 so any of you could win, so we will just have to wait and see.

Darth23
May 13th, 2002, 11:02:58 PM
The number 4 film this week was Scorpion King.

I picked it as the number three movie.

Did the rules change this week? Last week I belive I was the closest for the number 4 film but I didnt' get the points because I didn't pick it in the right order.

Jedi Master Carr
May 13th, 2002, 11:19:35 PM

Darth23
