Plot Summary: The story catches up with FBI agent Gracie Hart shortly after she successfully disarmed a threat against the Miss United States Pageant while working undercover as a contestant in "Miss Congeniality". Having become a media celebrity following her heroic pageant exploits, Gracie has been spending more time lately at the salon than the shooting range, working the talk show circuit and promoting her book. When her friends, pageant winner Cheryl and emcee Stan, are kidnapped in Las Vegas, Gracie's all-out efforts to jump back into action to save them puts her at loggerheads with the FBI top brass who don't want to risk losing their mascot and fear she might not be up to the job anymore.

PREDICT THE OPENING WEEKEND (3-day/4-day) AND THE TOTAL GROSS.

Are you sure about that release date?

That is the release date according to comingsoon.net and boxofficemojo.com!!!

Yup, for some reason, they want a thursday release, stupid if you ask me.

TRAILERS

Trailer: http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=6554

Another BOMB sequel for WB after Analyze That and The Whole Ten Yards as well as the disappointing gross of Ocean's Twelve.

Warner Bros. doesn't know how to market sequels for life.

Total: $25.2 million

Low opening, low total.

Opening: $12 Million

Total: $25 Million

I think the first did very well, didnt it? :???:

OPENING WEEKEND

Zingaling - $9.0m

TOTAL GROSS

Miss Congeniality wasn't that badly recieved. It did have surprisingly good legs and a surprising amount of cross-demo audiences. I think it can open to a $30 million four day.

As for the four day release, thats the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Ever. And I'm a hardcore Bush hater.

The trailer is hillarious. I see this doing very well.

I agree, the trailer got great reaction from the Meet the Fockers crowd (The Whole Ten Yards trailer was booed, that's why it flopped).

it most likely wont drop on friday, its not a huge blockbuster like star wars and the matrix, and its opening sone time before summer so its opening day wont be incredibly big. I expect a 50%+ increase on friday, it just does not seem like the tipe of film that would fall on a friday.

i see a 30m+ opening wknd but im not sure about the 4-day yet.

hehe!, the trailer looks dumb but fun!

3DAY- $22.8M 4DAY- $30.3M
TOTAL- $74M

The reason that Analyze That bombed was because it looked stale, and The Whole Ten Yards bombed because no one on the face of the planet asked for a sequel to it.

Miss Congeniality is insanely popular among female audiences (most of my girlfriends own it, as do I), so I could see Miss Congeniality 2 doing well, even with the idiotic release date.

Plus, some guys kind of like it too
Those guys being me and Chandler from Friends.

I heard the traiers been running with Fockers in America - if so, then this one could see a huge boost in its chances.

Charlies Angels 2 numbers, big hit.

Ms congeniality was enjoyable. The trailer looks so bland and Meh though. I dont know how much awareness is out there for it. if people know its coming out, it should do mediocre, but pull in less than the original movie.

in todays world when a sequal can open with a robust amount more than the first I would say this film also fits in that category, The trailer for this film got a very good reaction from the crowd as good or better than the reaction for the Hitch trailer. The awarness levels for this film will be there coming march and this film will deliver like any hiped sequal with a very well received trailer and hopefuly good T.V. spots would do this is not one of those films that need great WOM or critical prase to do good.

4 Day: $25.0 million

Total: $68 million

It's going to open up good, but its not going to have very good legs, especially compared to the original. This sequel looks very uneccessary to me. The first one wasn't even that good in my opinion.
