Box Office Contest Week 13

[Jedi Master Carr]

Okay lucky week 13 here. Now this weekend is going to be a doozy. We got three major openings
Tomb Raider 2
Spy Kids 3
SeaBiscuit
This is one of the most competive weekends of the Summer also because of the holdovers of Bad Boys 2 and Pirates of the Carribean. This should be an interesting weekend. You have until Saturday 9AM to make your picks.

[CMJ]

Defintely a tough weekend. Handicapping the race this week is gonna be hard as hell.

My most anticipated release of the year is finally here though. :D

[sirdizzy]

1 Tomb Raider 2 $43.11
2 Pirates of Caribbean $22.5
3 Bad Boys II $20.6
4 Seabiscuit $14.4
5 Spy Kids 3-D $12.0

[sirdizzy]

i think cmj and the reviews might have talked me into seeing seabiscuit

but its second priority to me because i am seeing tomb raider first

and i think i might catch whale rider tommorow

[Marcus Telcontar]

You have to be kidding me... TR2 IS going to be crap. Why bother??????

[CMJ]

1. Tomb Raider 2 - 31.92M
2. Seabiscuit - 23.07M
3 Pirates of the Carribean - 22.34M
4 Bad Boys 2 - 21.01M
5 Spy Kids 3-D - 17.00M

[sirdizzy]

because i liked the first one, because i like popcorn films, because i have money, because its my perogitive to see any movie i wish to see and not you not roeper and even not ebert can make me do otherwise

now why did you bother to saw me otherwise

[imported_Marcus]

Good luck - I avoid watching crap. The first one was an abdomation. This will be no better.

[sirdizzy]

i thought you said you avoid watching crap but then ya call the first one an abomination clearly admitting to seeing it

thats one hell of a contradiction my son

[imported_Marcus]

My wife saw it. I refused to.

And when SHE said it was crap, then it catches my attention. Considering she likes some woeful stuff, it must be scraping the barrel

[Jedi Master Carr]

Also it look Seabiscuit is only opening in 1997 theaters. Still Road to Predition which came out last year only opened in 1700 so theater so we might be looking at a similar gross for hte weekend.

[ReaperFett]

Sadly Johnny English wont make it. It deserves more. Still, it made a profit :)


1 Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life 29.99
2 Pirates of the Caribbean 24.99
3 Seabiscuit 22.99
4 Bad Boys II 19.99
5 Spy Kids 3D: Game Over 14.99

[Marcus Telcontar]

Man, I soooooo dont care about this week.

Mojo then

[Jedi Master Carr]

This is so hard I may change my mind, I am not sure about Spy Kids 3D It could do better than I think

1 Tomb Raider 2 32.44
2 Pirates of the Carribeen 22.11
3 Seabiscuit 21.88
4 Spy Kids 3D 20.02
5 Bad Boys 2 19.11

[ReaperFett]

I really want to see Spy Kids 3D, but I don't want to have to wear the glasses :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Is anybody going to get any points?
Friday Numbers
Spy Kids 3 11.8
TR2 8.5
POTC 6.8
Bad Boys 2 6.7
SeaBiscuit 6.3

I was right I was afraid Spy Kids would do better I am kicking myself for not picking it number 1.

[Jedi Master Carr]

CMJ maybe the only getting points if the top stay the same he has POTC and BB2 in the right spots the rest of us might be getting goose eggs.

[CMJ]

Yeah, points! ;)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Its will be a weird weekend you would get 25 points and the rest 0

[sirdizzy]

how the hell did spykids do better than tomb raider


ok i liked the first spy kids but the second one was an autrocity a crime against mankind

i have to admit that i morbidly curious about the third one simply because i haven't been to a 3d movie since mad max beyond thunderdome

[sirdizzy]

the new weekend predictions give me a chance at #2 and #3 if they holdup buts its so close they could swing any way

1 Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over DIM $32,500,000 $32,500,000
2 Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl $22,400,000 $176,100,000
3 Bad Boys II $22,000,000 $88,452,000
4 Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life $21,760,000 $21,760,000
5 Seabiscuit $21,500,000 $21,500,000

i am off my only 100,000 on POTC and 1.4 mil on bad boys 2 if those hold

[sirdizzy]

now that i look at it makes no difference how much bad boys 2 makes if it holds to the 3 spot since i am the only who has it in the 3 spot, so if that holds guarnteed win at 3 for me

and since i am off by only $100,000 if they hold i should get #2 as well and muck the rest of the picks

[sirdizzy]

i take that back if seabiscuot can somehow slide into #4 possition i am the only one who has it as #4 so i could possibly get that one too

and i just messed up big time on spykids and tomb raider

[sirdizzy]

but its so darn close its going to be like a horserace the winner by a nose which is fitting with seabiscuit debuting this week

[Jedi Master Carr]

Heck they are so close 2-5 could be different when the actuals come out tomorrow.

[CMJ]

No kidding.."Seabiscuit" could move up all the way to #2 potentially. Some kinda weekend.

[Marcus Telcontar]

1Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (3,222 theaters) 28.2
2Pirates of the Caribbean 23.7
3 Seabiscuit (1,987 theaters) 22.4
