Does anybody notice this is JoJo's second movie in 2 months. Her first being Aquamarine opening March 3. The funny thing is this was originally supposed to opening in March and Aquarmarine was to open in April.

Coming from one of the few people who said The Pacifier would make $100M last year, I'll say that this is not The Pacifier. It has a trailer that had laughs, but the trailer needs to be seen more. If Pink Panther is big, then it'll attract more viewers.

18/63.

I think it looks weak, and I'm guessing they are dumping it. 7m/17m

Dumping it at the end of April where no kids films are being released. Yeah what a stupid move, or what a stupid thing to say.

It looks awful. I see around $40-45M total.

Typical date for a movie to be dumped. It doesn't seem like the studio has done anything to build buzz so far. The movie just looks like the type to be dumped. ;) Compared to just about ever successful comedy, the concept is weak.

Sony has over 10 weeks to go.

These concepts always worked. Yes, its generic and for the most part unfunny. But when it comes to these sorts of movies, the more i hate it, the more it makes.

End of April can't be a dumping ground, when such films like SILENT HILL, FLIGHT 93,

The film went in to post-production just before Christmas. Yet to be rated. Most dumps are often rated many months in advance. Sony saw the oppurtunity to advertise PP, a very likely candidate for #1 this weekend, so it will have exposure. A trailer for WASC wasn't released until after Christmas but it was released in the first week of Feb. Barely 6 weeks.

End of Feb to mid-March sees 4 kids/family movies released. Early May has none. RV is also getting a simulatenous release (same-day to 2 weeks) apart from other countries, films delayed months for international territories indicates a studio/distributor wants to save money by not printing more prints.

And there is no such thing as family films being dumped. They all make money. Every family film is strategically placed on a release date schedule.

Ok, all very good points.

I don't think the trailer shows much commercial potential, but we will see.

Seen lots of ads and trailers for it, but I just don't think it looks appealing.

15/39

Big time early May movies will eat away it's legs.

I like this ones chances, Williams has been absent for a little bit, should do decently.

It looks generic but I have a hard time betting against these family comedies. It looks like Cheaper by the Dozen for some reason, a good thing for the studio since that film was a big hit. It should also benefit from opening near the summer when people are most likely to go on such vacations. It could also have worked as a Christmas release. It may be nice to see Williams back to doing comedy.

18/60

Robin Williams deserves a hit as well.

I like the fact he has made a few indies over the last few years.

I actually think it looks good. But then, I love the Vacation movies...

I can see this one being huge! ish!

Surprise hit of the year.

50/200.

Count on it.

It kinda looks like a cross between National Lampoon's Vacation and that episode of the Simpsons when Homer bought a crappy RV not wanting to be outdone by the Flandereses.

The good news is, if they take their cue from The Simpsons episode, Robin Williams doesn't even need to be covered in mud to be mistaken for Bigfoot. All he has to do is take off his shirt.

Not original and probably not good enough to break out like that. I wouldn't rule out 100 million though.

Tracking is at $25M, and its opening in 3,100+ theaters.

Sounds good to me:

Opening: 22.0
Total: 74.7 (3.40)

I'll stick with the original prediction. Ice Age II will be below $10 million next weekend, so really, there's not much competiton for RV. It's tracking well, but then again, The Shaggy Dog tracked at around the same amount and opened with $16 million.

Looks kinda hokey, but the trailer has gotten some good laughs. The tracking just might be accurate with this.
