It'll be close, but you got it I'm sure. ;p

 Re: Friday the 13th - $45m+ four-day
I wish I could be extremely excited about FRIDAY THE 13TH being a big hit, and I'm glad it did well because it's a horror movie, but it's really not that deserving. Why even bother updating a franchise if you're going to offer nothing new or exciting? The movie was surprisingly dull. Not bad, but nothing special and not great like it should have been. A sequel would likely make 45-60 Million total, and that's if it was lucky.

Good job Zing, You called it. I'm glad I joined this club, since my shopaholic club is almost definitely going to fail.

 Re: Friday the 13th - $45m+ four-day
But I kept telling ya that only a $20 million opening day would make it possible and not even a Valentine Day support will help to offset the gimmick effect of the first day rush.
