[Marcus Telcontar]

Pretty staggering that we're all expecting TTT to clear over 45 million in it's secoond weekend so far. Should pass 200 million on Monday at the latest.

[ReaperFett]

Well Im unsure, but I like to try and be highest within reason, just in case it does suprisingly amazing :)

[Marcus Telcontar]

15 million on Thursday likely says your right.

[ReaperFett]

Nah, because notice how Yog ALWAYS just beats the deadline? I suspect he'd do the same :)

[Marcus Telcontar]

I'm not game to post over 50 million., even if a 17 mill Friday, 20 million Saturday and 13 million Sunday is most likely. Only needs a low drop off Sunday to break 50.... but i'm just not game to do it.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I am going to go lower just because I have nothing to lose

LOTR TTT 39.77
Catch me if you Can 24.44
Two Weeks Notice 10.77
Gangs of New York 10.11

[Master Yoghurt]

Note, the above numbers are reported by reelsource.com, not official studio estimates. They are usually underestimating somewhat

Lees Movie Info reports entirely different numbers. I believe these are incorrect as TTT's gross of 20M for friday is tad insane (but who knows?)
http://www.leesmovieinfo.net/News.php?news_id=10

Either case, lets wait and see.. :)

[ReaperFett]

I believe 20M is spot on ;)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Brandon Gray, over at Mojo, is saying they are false, he said that they are averaging by partial numbers or something. My guess is the number is closer to 15 which makes more sense. Also I was surprised how well Harry Potter has rebounded it will probably make 6-7 million for the weekend, it made 4.5 last weekend. Looks like it will make it 250 now, could make it to 255-260.

[Marcus Telcontar]

Whichever way it goes, anything over 15 million is incredible.

[Marcus Telcontar]

ESTIMATES

1 1 Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers NL $48,925,000 -21.1% 3622 - $13,507 $200,108,000 $94 / $45 2
2 N Catch Me If You Can DW $30,040,000 - 3,156 - $9,518 $48,600,000 $52 / $35 1
3 2 Two Weeks Notice WB $16,115,000 12.5% 2,755 - $5,849 $43,641,000 $60 / $30 2
4 3 Maid in Manhattan Sony $13,000,000 21.4% 2,838 -28 $4,580 $57,400,000 $55 / $33 3
5 4 Gangs of New York Mira. $11,200,000


If that number holds, Fett wins the weekned it looks like. And for once, I will happily concede. TTT is showing legs :D

[ReaperFett]

I hope thats true, that makes me closest for TTT, maybe closest for #2 and #3, and the right order

I AM INVEENCIBLE!! :D

[Marcus Telcontar]

Here's hoping you DO win :D

Tho I woudl not be so condifent on 2 and 3. It looks like I've had a very good week.

[ReaperFett]

Why, because Id now look stupid if they were wrong? ;)

[Marcus Telcontar]

No cause that will mean LOTR cleans up again big time

[ReaperFett]

Ahhhhh

I doubt theres a chances it WOULDNT :)

Could be intresting though, Yog got the ordering wrong.

[Marcus Telcontar]

It's between you and me with double points on offer. Estimates for TTT have usually been low, so you have the best chance. Then again, only needs to duck below 48.48 and I win.

And as I want TTT to have every dollar it can get, I'll be happy to see you win.

[Marcus Telcontar]

LOTR has to be too high. 15.05 on Friday, 16,95 on Staurday. Basically leave 16.9 on Sunday. No way. I smell fudging on the estimate

* Estimates gathered from BOM.

[Master Yoghurt]

Here is a little math for the unsuspecting:

$151,182,682
+ $48,925,000
= $200,107,682

Ooohhh, nice and shiny number.. makes great headlines.. :rolleyes

[Marcus Telcontar]

Ummm... it was accurate.

[Master Yoghurt]

[ReaperFett]

Pinocchio?????? :)

[Master Yoghurt]

LOL, yeah. Although I did not think it would make the top 10, it bombed even worse than I thought it would. And what the heck is "Antwone Fisher"? :)

[ReaperFett]

Denzel's directoral debut

[Marcus Telcontar]

I think I got closest for 2,3 and 5 :D! TTT onyly had to be 400,000 lower and I would have had a pretty impressive sweep.

Not complaining :D

[Jedieb]

Isn't Antwone Fisher only being released in selected theaters? I don't think it's gotten it's widest release yet. I'm not surprised about Pinochio. Those commercials look simply horrible. Wasn't Coppola interested in making a live action version years ago? I think he even sued a studio over the whole project.

[ReaperFett]

Lets see. Out of the two of us:

The Two Towers - Im 1.1 out, youre 1.8 out
Catch Me If You Can - Im 0.908 out, youre 0.42 out
Two Weeks Notice - Im 1.5 out, youre 0.2 out
Maid in Manhattan - Im 1.41 out, youre 1.7 out
Gangs of New York - Im 0.95 out, youre 0.2 out

3-2 to you :)

[Marcus Telcontar]

Quadanarous Gets Maid in Manhattan.

[ReaperFett]

I wasnt comparing him though ;)


Quadanarous Gets Maid in Manhattan.
Nice prize :)

[Marcus Telcontar]

It's the booby prize

[sirdizzy]

ya forgot to mention AOTC broke 310 million this weekend

[ReaperFett]

It's the booby prize
Wont make the joke :)

[Quadinaros]

Don't make fun of my triumph, guys. I think that's the only movie I've won in this entire contest. :(

Just for that, I'm gonna go see Maid In Manhattan.... just kidding. :evil

[Marcus Telcontar]

Eeeewwwwww... scary thought.

I'm actually looking forward to the points totals ^_^

[ReaperFett]

Ditto :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well since Reaper complained we won't do double bonuses

kidding here are the results

Winner of #1 ReaperFett
Winner of #2 Marcus Q'Dunn
Winner of #3 Marcus Q'Dunn
Winner of #4 Quadinarous
Winner of #5 Marcus Q'Dunn

Here are the points
Marcus Q'Dunn 130
ReaperFett 100
Quadinarous 70
Sir Dizzy 30
Jedieb 30
Jedi Master Carr 30
Admiral Lebron 30
Master Yoghurt 30


Final Totals

Master Yoghurt 340
ReaperFett 305
Marcus Q'Dunn 285
Admiral Lebron 250
Sir Dizzy 230
Jedi Master Carr 165
Quadinaros 160
Sene Unty 105
Jedieb 55
JMK 45

Well Yoghurt won again, looks like doubling the points didn't work though it pushed Marcus from 5th to 3rd which is impressive and Reaper regained second, if Reaper had won that second movie than he would have won but he was so close but Marcus was closer. I guess Yog keeps the crown for now until we begin again in May.

[ReaperFett]

GO EUROPE AND AUSTRAILIA!!!!!!!!!!! :lol

[Marcus Telcontar]

YES!!!!!

WOOHOOO!!!!

WHAT A WEEK FOR ME!!

[ReaperFett]

[Marcus Telcontar]

Hey, jsut a bit higher and I would have had one hell of a sweep :D

[Admiral Lebron]

[Jedi Master Carr]

Too bad you missed that first week you might have had a better chance. There is always the summer should be interesting hopefully we will have a bigger turnout than last Summer.

[Admiral Lebron]

[Marcus Telcontar]
