 Will PIRATES 2 beat SPIDER-MAN 2's opening week record? SPIDER-MAN 2 holds the opening week record with $192,085,360 followed closely by REVENGE OF THE SITH with $191,363,169.
Do you think that PIRATES 2 will set a new opening week record?

Easily
Would have voted 200m+ if I looked closer at the poll.

No. Spider-Man 2 essentially had the advantage of five weekend days in a row. Pirates 2 needs four $15m+ days this week, and I don't think it's gonna happen.

I think it will, but certainly not "easily." I think it will be really close, and POTC2 will pass Spiderman by a million or two if that.

Oh, you edited it. heh.
Well, it certainly will average over 15m on the weekdays.

If you look at both Spider-Man 2 and Revenge of the Sith, Spidey peaked at $12m and Sith's high was $14m (and it didn't hit even $10m the rest of the week). I don't see Pirates 2 raising the bar that much.

In July schools are out. For Sith they were not. SM2 was coming off an 88m weekend.

Nope. I see it at $184-188 million after 7 days.

Care to make another bet regarding Pirates, DP? Over/under say $195m for the first 7 days?

Spiderman 2 had the advantage of the extended fourth and a wed opening. RoTS had the advantage of having a wed opening at the cost of a slightly depressed weekend. Pirates will fall behind Sith today and will need to average 3-4 million a day on the weekdays.
I wouldn't say no way it will be close but it is at a disadvantage in terms of number of highest grossing days but a lot was offset by the huge opening weekend.

What do you want to get out of it? It looks like our first bet is going to come down to a few hundred grand.

Sure. How about two weeks? And I think that should go for the avatar bet as well, since we never really decided.
