Life Aquatic??

I'm glad to see you have reserved expectations for Ocean's 12. Its probably the most unneccassarry sequel.

What if your best picture nominee winner or 2nd or 3rd best picture nominee is already one of the movies that made $100 million?

I'm starting to doubt it will, but it has a chance I see it at 85m right now.

This assumes they are other films. I don't know what the chances are for the various films to get best picture noms, so, I seperated the two. For each film I list the chance I think they have without a best picture nom.

Good call for people putting The Grudge with better than so-so chance of making 100M before seeing Friday's number. With Halloween coming up, it's almost a lock to get to 100M.

Based on that opening number, I have a feeling that the Grudge might hit 100 million, with halloween around the corner. It certainly performed like a blockbuster at our theater.

I think Polar Express has at least a 50% chance.


BTW, Synergy is now called "In Good Company"

Depending on Phantom of the Opera's release method, it might have a good chance at $100 million.

Other then those listed, I don't know of many other good candidates for that number.

Thanks. :wink:

As for TPE, I very much expect it to bomb.

I would have POLAR EXPRESS as a lock for $100M. But it's your thread.

These are definately not locks!!!!!!!!! Especially Blade: Trinity and National Treasure, what are you smoking?

Author:  Dr. Lecter [ Fri Nov 05, 2004 10:27 am ]
Post subject: 

2004 won't have as many $100+ million movies as 2005 did. We are still 14 behind and there is not much time left.

Ocean's Twelve is a DEFINITE lock. 100%. Even more than Meet the Fockers.

Also, even if The Grudge falls under $9 million this weekend, it is still a lock for $100 million. It will have $85 million by the end of the weekend, for sure. Even if it falls 59+% from the on, it will still crawl past $100 million. And I really wouldn't give The Seed of Chucky even a 1% chance, hehe.

The rest looks good to me.

Author:  DP07 [ Sat Nov 06, 2004 6:33 pm ]
Post subject: 

Now The Grudge is a lock. :wink:

Anyway, I don't think Ocean's 12 is a lock, and I have more doubts now with the very poor TV spots I've seen recently. They remind me of Analyze That. I wouldn't be shocked if it bombed completely, although I'm still predicting about 120m.
