I honestly think this may be a breakout hit. Next weekend, it could make roughly $28 million, only fall to $17 million for Halloween, and it could even gross around $105 million. I don't know though, that's just me. I started this because I want to know your take.

I think it will do very well. It has a ring vibe to it, it its time we have an actual scary movie.

I saw 95-110 total

I think it will do very very well!!, the trailer is creepy! and Halloween coming soon even better!!

$21M/$85M

I feel this one will do big. All the signs on the internet point to a great opening, and unlike Team America, this is PG-13, so the buzz and box office correlate better since people don't have to sneak into it.

It's going to do great. I'm expecting around $27 million this weekend, and a small drop on Halloween weekend to around $17 million. It'll probably finish with around $85-90 million.

Getting verrry good vibes from it.

An opening approaching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (which netted about $28M opening weekend) would not surprise me.

looks like a "the ring" clone, so you know it will make a crapload. but it will probably be just as bad as the ring too, so i'll skip it. any film that is rated pg-13 and claims to be a horror movie usually stinks.

Why does a horror movie have to be rated R to be good? Is it because gore makes things scary or something?

I'd personally take The Ring's atmosphere over the likes of something like Jeepers Creepers' gore any day.

a truly good horror movie has good atmosphere and shocking visual images. the original dawn of the dead is a perfect example, as is the original Halloween. i find movies that rely solely on atmosphere like the ring to be very boring.

Horror movies don't have to be rated R, and audiences don't mind what it's rated either. This could be a breakout hit, and gross over $100 million, but I'll stay on the low side for the moment.

Opening- $22.8 million
Total- $68.4 million

22/70-120m

I think this will do good. With the Forgotten fading, people are in the mood for a horror movie right now. And being released around Halloween will only increase the box office. And the PG-13 rating is a plus too, that means alot of teens.

I still have my old prediction:

28m/81m

Great marketing, and the theater count is good.

I'm going for

$26M/$75M

Awesome! this is one of my most anticipated movies of the year.

Final predictions:

Opening weekend - $24.7 million

Total gross - $78.3 million

Okay, since no random BOM user is here, here are my final predictions

Opening - 25.3 million
Closing - 72.1 million

I see a TCM multiplier for this.

I don't think it will do too hot.

21.5m opening
55m final

With similar screens per theater to The Forgotten, I see a similar PTA as well. 21M opening weekend. 57M total.

My final predict:

Opening: $19.7
Total: $55.5

Ive been predicting 21.5mill opening for a week and i think it will have that opening,After seeing the horrible film i say it will have bad WOM and finish with 40-50mill.Still good for the film,i think it costed like 19mill to make.

lol you really must hate this movie, your are saying in every thread how bad is it!!

I really do hate it.

I agree with Neo. This is a worthless movie.

For me two horrible movies in a row, Team America and The Grudge. Hopefully, Saw will cure that problem.

i see that!!

people and critics both comment that the film is very scary.

However, i must say, predictions made a big drop off from high to low 20s in this thread around the time that the major sites put their low 20s out.

Im adamant that the movie will do high 20s, the ring fanbase is all there for the taking, the ads have been great and plentiful, the SMG fanbase is there too with the buffy fans undoubtably there and its theater count is vast too.

If this grosses less than The Forgotten then shoot me in the foot
