 The Marley & Me 50 Million Weekend Club.. Since I've seen the TV Spots for this countless times, I can't help but to think this really is going to be a crowd pleaser this weekend, especially movies like this that are are both feel good, funny and a tear jerker all in 1.. Because of this, I see this doing surprising numbers and blowing away expectations, even for a movie with Owen Wilson.. This also has appeal across the board for kids and adults as well, so my prediction is:
50 Million 3 day opening
200 Million Domestic Total..

Re: The Marley & Me 50 Million Weekend Club.. It should definitely do well, but $50m opening weekend? No chance. Even if you were talking four-day, it still won't.
$40m four-day would be fantastic for it. I'm thinking more like $34m-ish.

Re: The Marley & Me 50 Million Weekend Club.. If this pulled $50 m opening weekend, it would finish with $250 m or more. I can see $30 m or so, and a very strong $150 m total.

Re: The Marley & Me 50 Million Weekend Club.. Ladies man217, why did you say Quote: If Marley and Me can get a strong opening weekend and then good WOM I think it can do $130+ million domestically which will be good for fox.
Fox really needs a 100+ million hit.
When you said Marley and Me will struggle to crack $100 million.

Re: The Marley & Me 50 Million Weekend Club.. He's saying that it'll struggle to crack $100m now because the rule of thumb is that when BKB predicts one way, the outcome is the opposite.

Re: The Marley & Me 50 Million Weekend Club.. if Marley and Me had a 50m 3-day OW, it would make something like 250m in total, with good word-of-mouth.
So no. Not even half of that. I think a 20m 3-day would be a great start, en route to a possible 100m total. Considering its budget is probably low, that would be great.

Re: The Marley & Me 50 Million Weekend Club.. I'm banking on a $25-ish or more 3-day.

Re: The Marley & Me 50 Million Weekend Club.. http://chud.com/articles/articles/17541 ... Page1.htmlThis review alone proves to me that I actually might win this prediction.. This is going to make ALOT of $$$ this weekend and rightfully so.. People love feel good tear jerker type of movies around the holidays and there isn't 1 movie being released this weekend that'll stand up to this..

Re: The Marley & Me 50 Million Weekend Club.. well I saw it today...it's certainly going to have fantastic legs; the audience really loved it. And for a 1:30pm show, it was pretty crowded. But yeah, a 50m OW would mean like a 70m 4-day, and it certainly wasn't THAT kind of a crowd, especially with Bedtime Stories doing equally strong business nearby.

Re: The Marley & Me 50 Million Weekend Club.. i eat my words. Good call. But nothing about these Christmas Day numbers makes sense. Benjamin Button to make $200m?! Wow!!

Re: The Marley & Me 50 Million Weekend Club.. Ben Button making $200m was always likely if it could get a good OW. So too Marley which has built some major steam over the last week.

Re: The Marley & Me 50 Million Weekend Club.. Still not technically right BKB, but this is still a solid call for you. I couldn't even imagine $50m four-day before.

Re: The Marley & Me 50 Million Weekend Club.. No. You called 50 million for the 3 day. It made 37 million...
