Box Office Contest Week 11

[Jedi Master Carr]

Okay here comes a really hard weekend, 4 films debuting and it will be hard to figure out what they will do.
You got the critically acclaimed Road to Predition, but according to early estamates its going to be on about 1800 screens, you have Crocodile Hunter, Halloween 9 and the wild card Reign of Fire. I have no clue what Reign of Fire will do there has been a lot of ads lately if that means anything, I think it could do anywhere from 15- 40 million that is how hard it will be to predict. So go ahead and make your predictions you have until 9am Saturday to do so.

[Jedieb]

I know that Reign of Fire looks like the kind of film that many of US would enjoy, but I think this film could easily bomb. Matthew Mc. looks like crap with that shaved head. What were they thinking? I think this movie could easily making less than $50M. I wouldn't mind seeing a world being taken over by fire breathing dragons, but are women and older adult males going to buy tickets to this? I'm not making my guesses yet, but I'm probably going to place ROF at #3 or #4 for the week.

[CMJ]

Hmmm I guess I'll be brave and go first....

1. Men In Black II - 27.02M
2. Reign of Fire - 24.07M
3. Road to Perdition - 22.36M
4. Halloween: Resurrection - 12.10M
5. Mr. Deeds - 10.53M

I'm expecting most of us are gonna crash and burn this weekend...so many variables.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think McConney looks different, he kind of resembels Captain Ahab from what I can tell, so maybe there is something to that. Really though it could be # 1 if teenagers and young adults really want to go and see it, realize it wasn't woman and older males that made the Mummy movies so successful so there is the possibility it could flourish and at the same time if the same group I mentioned is not interested in it than it could do poorly. I agree with CMJ it is a tough weekend and I am going to hold on my guesses until I can try to figure out what the movies will do.

[JMK]

Crash and Burn baby! That's gonna be the way it works for this weekend for sure! I'm not making my guesses yet either. But rest assured I'm going to sit up into the wee hours of the morning and ponder my estimates using my mathematically advanced brain.

Whatever. :p

[Admiral Lebron]

[Jedieb]

3. Reign of Fire - 15.555M

5. Crocodile Hunter - 8.7555M
Am I the only one that thinks that Perdition could have easily won this weekend if they'd released it on 2,000 or more screens? Why such a low screen count? (Just under 1,800) It's the one movie opening this weekend that I'd go see.

CMJ you might want to check my calculations I think they are right but I rather be on the safe side.

[ReaperFett]

.....that was just humiliating

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well you aren't alone at least there is one more goose egg up there and 3 of us who only got 5 points right and I am one of those I stunk this week I way overestimated Reign of Fire, I wasn't sure what it would do so I decided to put in the highest guess thinking it might be a surprise well was I wrong, to make things worse I underestimated Halloween and overestimated Croccidle Hunter.

[ReaperFett]

Last year I did good. This year Im sagging worse than when I went on holiday and put cats & dogs at about #5 :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

There is still time you aren't completely out of yet epscially since the 4 of us at the top really didn't do that well, which gives everybody from CMJ to Jedieb a chance to capture one of the top spots and get a prize.

[ReaperFett]

Seen my in CC.net? I led, now Im midtable :)

[Marcus Telcontar]

Yeow. I should have done my usual and used a Guru guess

[Jedi Master Carr]

I hadn't checked over there, still you could have a big weekend, look at JMK he was towards the bottom now he has jumped way up in 7th place another weekend like that he could be in the top 3.

[JMK]

*Cough gag*
#1 AND 2????
Crikey!
I think I would have had Croc Hunter's total right too, but I had it in the wrong spot. I think I was .05M off on my guess.

Is there any extra points for guessing dead on? Has it ever happened????

[Admiral Lebron]

Crickey! I'm still numero uno! HAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!

<-- does the booyeah dance!!

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think a few people have come close to getting exactly right but not certain if anybody has hit it exactly, have to ask Darth he has been doing the contest for a while. Also congrats JMK, you had a heck of a weekend.

[JMK]

Thanks, yeah it wasn't bad. Clearly my best so far. I've never won a guess for a movie, let alone two.

[Marcus Telcontar]

I got within 10K of two last year. Ironically, they were movies I also marked as who cared

[CMJ]

Carr thanks for calculating this last night...I was gonna try to do it before I headed out to the set this morning, but BAM there it was. :) I'll try and be more on the ball next Monday, hopefully the day won't be quite as long.

Congrats JMK!

[Jedi Master Carr]

No problem CMJ I figured you were busy with shooting and that and figured I help you out this week.
