Box Office Contest Week 8

[Jedi Master Carr]

Okay Week 8 and this weekend the Hulk will smash the Box office :) Also arriving Alex and Emma with Kate Hutson and Luke Wilson and the most likely awful Justin to Kelly its that American Idol movie I have a good feeling that will bomb badly, there hasn't even been any advertising for it. Okay you have until 9AM on Saturday to make your predictions.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well Boricua you do have the biggest guess :) You could be right I honestly am not sure what it will do.

[CMJ]

A 23.8M opening number. Looks like it'll be on the lower end of predictions.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Probably around 75-80 most likely.

[sirdizzy]

and guess who has the 75 million prediction

muhahahahahahahaha

yours truly eat my dust

[ReaperFett]

And I have the 80m prediction. DOn't worry, you'll be the one SUCKING DUST! :D

[Jedi Master Carr]

It will depend on what it does Saturday. I am wondering how much Potter effected it on Friday, there were a lot of Potter Parties Friday night and they were very crowded in my area.

[sirdizzy]

[Marcus Telcontar]

Great hold for Nemo.

Not exactly the opening expected for the Hulk. It seems bad to say it for a movie opening with 60+ million, but that's not good.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I still wonder if Potter had anything do with it. Realize 5 million copies were sold on Saturday there were Potter Parites everywher Friday night and people blew 20 dollars on a book not too many would want to blow 20-30 more at the movies. I think Potter effected the box office at least some.

[Marcus Telcontar]

By up to 20 million? Not a chance. I can see a few million, but not by the rather large discepency we see here. Im mean lets face it, no one got even close.

[sirdizzy]

i got close, in fact i got the closest so nananana :p

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think it could have made the difference between say 70-63 or something like that also I think another reason for the less money is because of poor buzz, and I blame the trailers here they aren't good trailers compare them to X2 which had a brilliant trailer to Hulk and we see a huge difference. The thing that could help the Hulk in the long run is good WOM because a lot of people didn't see it you might have that effect if the people who saw it liked it. Anybody have any cinemscores? That would give us some clue.

[ReaperFett]

Im mean lets face it, no one got even close.
I'd have gone lower had I known the previous highers June grosser was 54m :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think the June record will really get shattered next year. Harry Potter 3 is suppose to be released on June 4 I am sure that can make 80+
