Four $100 million opening weekends? Two of them beating Spider-Man? A film coming within $20 million of Titanic? Three $350 million+ films?

I'm disappointed in you BJ. I was expecting more.

there was 3 350 million dollar films in 2004.

And the next highest film was $100 million below that. BJ has a $500 million film, a $400 million film, a $350 million film, two more $300 million films, a $250 million film, and four more $200 million films. That's ten $200 million films. 2004 only had 6. There's no way the marketplace can handle all that.

Of course, that's if you take BJ seriously at all...

I take my predicting seriously, seriously......

Awesome for Happy Feet crazy low for Pirates

crazy high is what u meant for Pirates. I'm being way to generous to Jack Sparrow.

$75m is the minimum for HF max is $100m. BELIEVE IT!!

Well, the final list isn't too impressive...

1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - $135,634,554
2. X-Men: The Last Stand - $102,750,665
3. The Da Vinci Code - $77,073,388

5. Cars - $60,119,509

8. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby - $47,042,215
9. Happy Feet - $41,533,432


While I was wrong on some of the order, I had nine of the movies above in my Top 10 at the beginning of the year (Just picked Click instead of Talladega Nights as the big comedy opener).
