Box Office Contest Week 16

[Jedi Master Carr]

Okay another week and we are getting close to the end. Three new movies opening. First probably the last big movie of the summer Freddy vs Jason opening in somewhere around 3000 theaters
the rest openings according to mojo show 1900-2300
You have some Skater flick the Grind, Gilmore Girls staring Brittany Murphy, and Open Range a Western starring Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall which opens in est 1900 theaters

You have until 9am Saturday to make your guesses good luck.

[sirdizzy]

this was a truly tough decision for me as i don't think the whole freddy vs jason thing is going to be huge, but it is opening in the most theatres has good buzz so i guess i will play it safe and just try and protect my lead (if i were trailing i might be more risky and would probably take it as a #2 or #3 flick to seeif i could take a risk)

1 Freddy vs Jason $23.7
2 S.W.A.T. $16.6
3 Freaky Friday $12.5
4 Pirates of Caribbean $8.9
5 American Wedding $7.8


oh and the movie is uptown girls not gilmore girls

[Jedi Master Carr]

LOL a put the TV show there instead :p I think Freddy vs Jason is going to be huge myself I think it could open in the mid to upper 30's.

BOM has slightly different numbers

1FVJ 13.6
2Swat 5.37
3 Open Range 4.22
4 Freaky Friday 4.19
5Uptown Girls 4.03

I wonder if the blackout effect the movies that much for Friday? If it did we might see big increases on Saturday
Also look at Gigli it made 10,000 it dropped 95% from last Friday that is unbelievable, could we have the biggest drop of all time this weekend?

[Jedi Master Carr]

CMJ might win again he has 1 for sure and he could nail 2 if the estimate is high otherwise I think Reaper wins it, the rest of us will all get 10 points. We all underestimated Open Range I knew it would make the top 5 but I didn't see it cracking the top 3.

[sirdizzy]

like i said cmj is far enough out of the running i'll take moot weekends

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well its not impossible if he won the top 3 on labor day and got all five movies right he would get 170 points so its not impossible maybe unlikely.

[sirdizzy]

yea but 220 points to make up in 2 weeks is too much, hell i think you are now officialy out of the running because 145 might just be too much of a lead


i am secure enough i think now to officialy start celebrating

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well I could gain it back on Labor day I would have to win big next weekend to have any shot.

[CMJ]

I'm only 50 points out of third. ;)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Your not that far behind me either :)
