I don't get it. Why would answering Battleship to number 4 mean that you are wrong?

Avengers could be between $45-60 million that weekend, effectively beating Battleship. Question #4 is only for movies that were #1 for at least one weekend in the summer.

Though I could still see a scenario where Battleship gets #1.

Question no. 10 would be way more interesting had we predicted Hope Springs. ;) Even if it does half of, say, Mamma Mia!'s gross, chances are it'll still be well ahead of the other movies.

Haha yep. I rooted for Hope Springs in the initial thread, but I believe Magic Mike barely beat it to be in the prediction list.

Yeah, I should have watched the trailer for Hope Springs before I picked Madea. :disgust:

I see Savages flopping or at least performing very mildly. Outside of Tarantino, these stylish, ultra-violent, cooler-than-thou suspense movies often fall flat at the box office. Domino, for example, or Lucky Number Slevin or Running Scared or even Oliver Stone's own U-Turn. And though it has lots of recognizable faces in the cast, none of them are draws (apologies, Benicio). This type of movie needs a certain type of star (Mark Wahlberg, for example) to stand out. Coming out in the midst of G.I. Joe, Spider-Man, and Ted won't help either.

Could see a finish in the neighborhood of 25-35 mil.

It certainly won't be a big hit, though I think it looks really cool :P. I'm thinking 34-45 Million.

I'm not sure any other film has a chance. Maybe Sparkle because of Whitney Houston? Or (big, big) maybe People Like Us can become a major sleeper hit. I doubt it, though.

Looks like Dark Shadows is fucked. Lowest predictors to get points? Let's hope it can spring out some legs though I probably will pick up none.

I'd say absolutely not for People Like Us. I can't see that doing much more than 40 Million. Sparkle is possible.

MG, I predicted Prometheus for top R-rated film. But no biggie, don't have to change the nice charts on the previous page. :thumbsup:

In the current ranking on the excel page, you didn't give me the point for Avengers being number 1 like you did for the other 3 that predicted that. Not that it's a huge deal right now or anything, just thought you should know.

Fixed. Not sure how it got switched since I had yours originally right in the Top 5 Overview. :oops:

Looks like MG Casey and I might be the closest on The Dictator with our 38 Million predictions. I doubt it will go much higher.

Eh, with a $4.5 million opening Wednesday, I'd be really surprised now to see it get a total as low as $40 million. I'll have to see how it plays out this weekend.
