Box Office Contest Week 4: Memorial Day Weekend

[Jedi Master Carr]

Okay the first big double weekend is upon us this is a four day weekend so post four day numbers. All points will be doubled. You have until 9AM on Saturday to make your predictions.

[ReaperFett]

Four day weekend being Sat-Tues?

[Jedi Master Carr]

Friday to Monday could be different in other countries but for the box office in the US that is the way it is.

[Jedi Master Carr]

And I should mention only two new movies
Bruce Almighty and The InLaws. I am think Bruce will take #1 just because of the hype and the previews have been great it could make 60+ over the memorial day, IMO.

[sirdizzy]

CMJ *cough* its The In Laws not In Laws *cough* hope ya don't lose any points ;)

[CMJ]

Yeah and you didn't capitalize correctly, but you don't see me complaining. :p

[Jedi Master Carr]

Now come on Dizzy that is just being riduculous I have seen so many people mispell titles in the past in the contest and I have never not rewarded points to them, I mean if I can figure out what they mean I will give them points as long as there isn't another film out with about the same name, the odds of that are slim.

[Marcus Telcontar]

I have no time to think this over.... Mojo me.

[sirdizzy]

LOL JMC obviously doesn't get sarcasm

its ok JMC i hear they have a sarcasm implant they can plug right into your brain

[Jedi Master Carr]

okay I will ignore it then :p

Here are my prediction
Bruce Almighty 64.55
Matrix 56.42
Daddy Day Care 16.33
X2 15.11
In Laws 13.22

[sirdizzy]

ooops no points for you its The In Laws not In Laws

and its Matrix Reloaded not Matrix and its X-men 2 not X2 or possible X-men United

but ya could still get points from bruce almighty and daddy day care

[Jedi Master Carr]

It is X2 watch the movie again that is the title so there :mneh

[Jedieb]

This is going to be a tough call. It looks like we're split on whether or not Jim Carrey is going to be able to oust MR from the top spot. Oh well, here I go;

1. MR 56.978765
2. BA 51.87165786
3. The People The Law States Are Related To Me Yet I Still Feel Uncomfortable Around Them At So Called 'Family' Gatherings So I Refuse To Let Rip The Obligatory Post Meal Gas Bomb That Was My Customary Olfactory Assault At Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners $14.123356
4. DDC $13.387876
5. X2 $11.2857657

Damn, did I spell #3 right.....

[sirdizzy]

ya might want to change #3 JMC doesn't go in for his humor implant tell next wednesday

[Jedieb]

Actually, he gets my stuff. Must be the quality of the material... ;)

[sirdizzy]

I don't know if I'm in time.

Matrix 64.8567
Bruce Almighty 52.0981
In-Laws 13.45
DDaycare 10.387
X2 10.269

[CMJ]

Matrix fell hard. Most of us are gonna have bad weeks.

[Dutchy]

Indeed. A 64.2% Fri-Fri drop is steep.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Very Steep I bet it will make like 35-40 for the 3 day and 45-50 for the weekend that is a big drop, and the #1 pick is. I only see two of us with a chance at a decent week.

[sirdizzy]

well only me and you have a chance at it JMC because we were the only ones to take it as the #2 movie for the weekend

[Jedi Master Carr]

I am not sure about Marcus though he picked Mojo have no clue what they took, I really wish he at least past their numbers to make it easier on me.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yahoo has some estimates up for the 3 days, Bruce Allmighty made 69.46
and Matrix Reloaded made 37.60. Now that is a huge drop that is about a 60% drop heck even when they add monday in it still may be over 50%. And Wow for Bruce I think we all underestimated that film.

10 ANGER MANAGEMENT .75 7 1.88

[Marcus Telcontar]

Either way, looks good for me :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah you lucky dog :p I got #2 though for sure I picked the Matrix the lowest.

[Jedieb]

Ah crap.... I can't believe MR fell so hard. Oh, well, maybe I'll luck out and grab one of the other flicks.
And don't be so hard on yourself for not having a sense of humor dizzy. I'm sure someone out there thinks you're funny.

[Jedi Master Carr]

LOL, well here are the estimates Matrix fell really hard and Bruce had the second highest memoiral day weekend after the Lost World

Bruce Allmighty 86.4
Matrix Reloaded 45.6
Daddy Day Care 18.0
X2 13.1
The In Laws 9.1

[Jedieb]

Damn, the In-Laws got buried and DDC continues to hold up well.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I know I can't believe that the film looks awful and all the critics say it is not even funny, who is seeing this movie? Is Eddie Murphy buying all the tickets to save his career?

[JediBoricua]

I thought I would get better, none such thing! :lol

[Marcus Telcontar]

:D

Never done this well in any of our contests

[Jedi Master Carr]

Its not over yet realize. The top four are very close.

[Marcus Telcontar]

I know. I've just in one month scored more points that some of the contests combined in total. That's exciting.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah that is interesting, also we know that we will have a new champ because Yoghurt is not playing :p

[CMJ]

I'm doing amazingly well too! Geez I'm usually struggling to be in the top third or so, and now I'm second.

Granted we have several fewer players this year than last, but STILL.
