Okay we are in the home stretch 3 weeks to go this week could be difficult two new movies, Blue Crush, the one with the hot chicks:D , or the twice delayed Pluto Nash starring Eddie Murphy will compete with last week's champion XXX should be a close battle. Okay everybody knows the rules get your picks in by 9AM Saturday and good luck.

Darth's unposted prediction from last week:

Austin Powers will only make 13 million bucks.

Darths' prediction from this week:

xXx will NOT make 20 million dollars this weekend.

Remember you heard it here first.

Heh Heh, Lee's movie info agrees with me.

He dropped his XXX prediction down from 21 million as s Early prediction to 19.9 million for hsi Final Prediction. :D

XXX has dropped a million buck a day this week - which is OK when you start out at 9 million on Monday.

It's not quite as good when you sstart out at 5 million on Monday. At this rate it will drop behind Signs on Thursday.

That's cool. Last week was too easy. This week should separate the experts from the hopeless. :evil

*Rubs Eyes*

Did Marcus ACTUALLY make his own guesses instead of using the so-called "experts"?

BTW the fact that he's so far back means the experts don't know more than us. ;)

Marcus Telcontar
Aug 16th, 2002, 08:33:00 PM
It would be poetic if I swept the week :)

CMJ
Aug 16th, 2002, 08:39:37 PM
Yes it would. Then you'd be kicking yourself for not making your own guesses the whole summer. ;)

Admiral Lebron
Aug 16th, 2002, 08:41:32 PM
Heh. This post is made to move along my count.

I was going to point this out at some time it does show that most of us know more than the expert like Lee and Mojo (I'd say Lee is worst than Mojo though), I'd find that ironic then, it shows that it is not easy predicting the winners.

JMK
Aug 16th, 2002, 10:18:01 PM
It's all a crapshoot. Who the hell really knows what's going to happen.


Certainly not Lee or Mojo! :lol

Yogs! Nice last minute entry there. :crack

Master Yoghurt
Aug 17th, 2002, 07:22:00 AM
LOL, I usually enter in the last minute. I came back home late yesterday, so I have not had the time to do my regular 'homework' on what the movies are going to make. I figured the the predictions for the top 3 were so crowded, I might have a better chance mixing them around a little bit. I have no idea how much Blue Crush is going to make..

Quadinaros
Aug 17th, 2002, 07:29:30 AM
I checked in at the local megaplex last night, and XXX was still the hot ticket with several sellouts, while Blue Crush wasn't selling out anything.

I thought I had Blue Crush in the bag until you predicted $.03 mil below me. :( Though, I wouldn't be surprised to see it finish ahead of Signs, in which case we'll both be wrong.

Please tell me you're not going to edit your CCnet predictions. :|

Master Yoghurt
Aug 17th, 2002, 07:38:07 AM
Don't worry. I wont edit my CC.net prediction. I make it a point to have my predictions ready before deadline. :)

Master Yoghurt
Aug 17th, 2002, 07:52:47 AM
Btw, it must be convenient being able to check your local theater which shows are sold out. Living in Norway, I can't do that, I have to rely on crowdreports posted on the net. Sometimes, those can be hard to locate. :(

Anyway, I have have a feeling Pluto Nash is going to bomb big time.. :rollin

Carr, it was nice knowing you, but you could be facing the big 0 this week. Unless Signs somehow passes XXX, knocking it to 2nd, but I doubt that. >D

This is getting really interesting...

Jedi Master Carr
Aug 17th, 2002, 12:34:33 PM
Looks like most of us will get 0's if Signs doesn't pass XXX which could happen, or Blue Crush passes Signs which I think is more doubtful, I am hoping Signs passes XXX I would love to see that film drop 60% this weekend.

Quadinaros
Aug 17th, 2002, 12:48:44 PM
I guess you're right. Several people may get 0. I just chose to single you out because you're leading the standings. Buwahahahaha!! >D

Jedi Master Carr
Aug 17th, 2002, 12:57:38 PM
I am not worried there are still two more weeks and the next two weeks are going to be even tougher so I think the whole thing is up for graps, now if Signs beats XXX out for #1 I think everybody will do bad this weekend.

My first of the contest, man Yog really jumped up there he has a 55 point lead over me now, and there is only two weeks to catch up and the these next two weeks could be the hardest to pick for the entire summer.

Quadinaros
Aug 20th, 2002, 12:17:29 PM
Good job, Yogs! Even though you came in at the last minute and sabotaged my #3 and #4 predictions, not to mention copying my order for the top 3.

>_<
