Those are actually quite reasonable predictions, but Da Vinci Code will rank a lot higher. They were wise to not include Lady In The Water or Poseidon.

I know those seem like they underpredicted, but they were pretty in line for expectations. There were people at the time of Shrek 2's release that thought it would struggle to get past the first, Spidy was expected at close to $350 m or so, so $300 m wasn't that off, and Nemo was also underpredicted quite a bit by most, with very few thinking it could take the summer. Matrix 2 was also expected to do $300 m +, so even though they were off, they seem to be a good gauge of expectations of box office watchers, but Da Vinci Code they are definitely off on. The rest are reasonable.

Well they aren't close to what I'd predict, but given what they've got, I'm making the point that they're reasonable. Da Vinci Code and POTC will probably be much higher, but these predictions aren't horrendous.

No, these actually aren't so bad. I don't agree on a couple like MI:3 and Da Vinci, but they're not flat out retarded like some of Poland's.

I wanna see Travers' picks. He was unbelievably accurate last year, he even got Wedding Crashers as top 3.

These are actually decent predictions for Premiere - they have had far worse ones in the past - ie. ID4 - $100m.

Id say they are low on DaVinci and Click - but otherwise nothing shocking.

Losers under predicted ever single film

POTC2 300m. Underpredicted. --Agree. it should do about 325-350 million
SR 230m. Underpredcited--------Disagree, I think this will do over 200 million but around 215 million or x2 numbers
Cars 225m. Kind of underpredicted- I actually think this is close. maybe around 240 million max
X3. Underpredicted---------------Agree- It should 230 million-250 million
MI3. Close to over-predicted but I'll give it that its a good predict
OTH. Overpredicted kind of.
DVC. UNderpredicted a lot-----Agree. 250 million finish
Click. a bit overpreidcted but its def. possible
Miami VIce. Again, a bit overpredicted but its def. possible
You, Me, and Dupree. Probably the most accurate predict in the whole top 10.

These are all pretty reasonable, IMHO. Much better than Poland's predictions.

01 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men's Chest [300] - About right
02 Superman Returns [230] - way,way,way under predicted
03 Cars [225] - a little over predicted
04 X-Men 3: The Last Stand [220] - about right
05 Mission: Impossible 3 [210] - about right
06 Over The Hedge [180] - about right
07 The Da Vinci Code [170] - about right
08 Click [150] - a little under predicted
09 Miami Vice [120] - about right
10 You, Me, and Dupree [110] - overpredicted

Pirates will be #1 this summer, followed by Cars. So sayeth me.

Are you going to cry when Pirates OWNs up on Sups

Agreed. It's stupid to look back at massive breakout hits like Shrek and Nemo, or massively disappointing films like Reloaded, and make fun of the "outrageous" predictions people made.

The list is reasonable. I don't agree with many of the numbers, but it's a reasonable list with reasonable numbers. The summer could very well turn out this way. Except for Da Vinci code. There's no way that movie is under 200.
