Nothing has come close yet but it is just a matter of time. So can 2004 get more than 2003? I say its a maybe. Also what will be the first. Right now Along came Polly is off to a good start with a 32 million dollar 4 day opening but if it has bad WOM as it looks it could fall fast. The next chance is Miracle coming out Feburary 6. This stars Kurt Russell and it is about the miracle 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team. I think it will be big, because everybody that witnessed it will go see it. So I think it has an excellent chance at 100 million. You also have Barbershop 2 that comes out the same day it is a maybe to me. The next film is 50 First Dates staring the always bankable Adam Sandler that will do it but it could be beaten by the other three films first.
Here are my thoughts for the rest of the year (I am only looking at the first half of 2004 it is hard to judge movies up to SM2 coming out the later half)
