[sirdizzy]

and its 3 new movies how to deal with mandy moore opens on 2250 screens, a 100 more than johnny english

[Jedi Master Carr]

I haven't seen one preview for that movie I bet it bombs

[sirdizzy]

its a chick flick they ussually do 10-12 mil

[Jedi Master Carr]

But there has been very little advertising and I really don't know why

[CMJ]

I don't know how either of the newcomers are gonna do - so I'm shooting high.

1. Bad Boys II - 49.09M
2 Pirates of the Carribean - 27.10M
3 Johnny English - 12.01M
4 How to Deal - 11.22M
5 Terminator 3 - 10.53M

[Jedi Master Carr]

yeah this is a more difficult weekend I think I might wait to see some predictions from the experts I really am not sure what to expect.

LXG 10.01
How to Deal 9.22

[ReaperFett]

1 Bad Boys II - 44.99M
2 Pirates of the Carribean - 29.99M
3 How to Deal - 14.99M
4 Johnny English - 12.99M
5 Terminator 3 - 9.99M

[sirdizzy]

should be an intersting weekend 3-5 since everyone used different orders

[Marcus Telcontar]

BOG estimates

BB2 - 36
POTC - 28
T3 - 11
How to deal - 9
Johnny English - 8

[sirdizzy]

i like those estimates if they hold up i kick <smallfont color={hovercolor}>-Censored-</smallfont> again

[sirdizzy]

ya can't beat order and getting bonuses for 3-5 (no chance on 1 and 2 though)

[sirdizzy]

oh wait my confusion those were the gurus predictions not the weekend estimates

i thought it seemed low since BBII did 17 million fridayalone

[Marcus Telcontar]

Dizzy, will you stop hitting the censor?!?!?!?!? For your own sake, stop it.

[Jedi Master Carr]

The real estimates are these
Bad Boys 2 46.7
POTC 33.257
LXG 10.01
Johnny English 9.32
T3 9.2

Looks like Reaper is going to win just about every one except POTC which I should win since I am the closes.

[ReaperFett]

Oh I'm good ;)

[ReaperFett]

Noone got 4 or 5 right?

[Jedi Master Carr]

Dizzy got 5 no body got 3 or 4. You would have had 4 and 5 right but Johnny English slipped to 5 with the actuals. With the others everybody messed up and LXG and How to Deal.

[sirdizzy]

hey i am happy, i had a horrible week and i lost no points on my lead since you passed Marcus for 2nd

so i keep the 60 point lead i earned last week

and while reaper is making a nice late run, time may be slipping away for him

[ReaperFett]

I have no chance :)

[CMJ]

You have a better chance than I do. It's kinda sad we only have 5 regulars now...everyone else gave up. ;)

[ReaperFett]

Well they suck :)

[sirdizzy]

hey use my philosophy

stay close than make your move, last week was the first time i have led the entire contest

theres still time left, including 1 more double point weekend

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah I think its a 4 man race right now. The big thing is next weekend that is going to be a hard weekend to predict three new movies and they are each hard to predict.

[sirdizzy]

yea but when the weekend is so hard to predict not a lot of points chance hands


look at last week no #3 or #4 winner (still kicking my butt for changing T3 from #4 to #3 that would have been guarnteed points)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah but if everybody has different guesses then somebody is bound to be right acutally I know what the top 5 will be the question is the order. I am certain TR2, Seabiscuit and Spy Kids 3 will make the top 5 and BB2 and POTC will remain but the order is going to be harder to predict but if somebody gets it right they could be in very good shape.

[sirdizzy]

thats what happened last week to me, order sometimes is so very crucial
