My prediction is objective too and not biased since I'm not a fanboy  .

I'm glad to see that Fever Pitch made it over the $40 million mark. It deserved more than that (Not because I am a Red Sox fan) because it was actually a very good movie.

Bump - as no one has talked about Unleashed.
Some said that it would be easily forgotten
So what about this #.

This could've had the best leg of any Jet Li's movies given its WOM, if not for Sith opening next weekend. As I commented in another thread, this is the worst release date possible, as Sith will take away so much of the movie's fanbase that the WOM will have a hard time to spread. _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office

It's decent, but with a budget around 45m it wont make a profit domestically. This is actually Jet Li's lowest opening weekend since 99' when Black Mask came out, which was in only 900 theaters.

Rogue Productions is to be blamed for handling it poorly. Next to nothing advertising, delayed releasing.
I am so glad Crash is doing well.

See, I knew they totally should've opened this April 8th like they originally planned. It would've been able to get 2500+ theaters, and with a bigger marketing campaign been much less overshadowed, might have even been able to open at #1.

Honestly, I think Monster-in-Law, if released last weekend to take advantage of Mother's Day and nothing but R rated releases for competition, could have possibly topped $30M. I guess we'll never know.

Even with 2500 and on April 8th it wouldnt have made over 20m or anything. The last time a Jet Li movie did that was........ never. Im sure it couldve pulled in a good 15m or so though and had some Hero type legs, which is better then Cradle 2 the Grave legs. _________________"People always want to tear you down when you're on top, like Napoleon back in the Roman Empire" - Dirk Diggler

Ooooh, Nice weekend.
Glad to see MONSTER IN LAW being a Number 1 hit, and very solid for KICKING AND SCREAMING too. Both should do over $60M.
Solid for UNLEASHED, and a big yay for MILLION DOLLAR BABY.
And WOOHOO for HOUSE OF WAX dropping less than 50%. And less than KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
Great drop for CRASH.
 $30M here we come.
