Plot Summary: There's trouble brewing in Bikini Bottom! Someone has stolen King Neptune's crown, and it looks like Mr. Krabs is the culprit! Though he's just been passed over for the promotion of his dreams, SpongeBob stands by his boss and along with his best pal Patrick sets out on a treacherous mission to Shell City to reclaim the crown and save Mr. Krab's life.

My View:
The show is hugely popular in the United States, and it is still in the top 10 most watched cable shows, even though it hasn't had a new episode in a year.

Opening: $70.5
Total: $350.0

This is THE movie of the winter. It will take Return of the King's spot.

I assume that you a big fan of the show micasey. :wink:
This could turn out to be another Powerpuff Girls.

15/40

This show has a HUGE fanbase, and has been ranked #1 on most watched animated shows for the past 3 years. It'll be big.

Opening- $50.0
Total- $175.0

$45M/$170M

this is for know!...maybe ill increase it!

every kid i know LOVES spongebob...this will be huge

$68.9/$205.6

huge opening weekend around 65 million but after that it will drop hard... It comes out 2 weeks after incredibles and 1 week after polar express...those will be the movies that last through the holidays, everyone who actually cares about Bob will see it opening weekend and that will be it

I see some serious overpredicting here!

Opening weekend - $29.8 million

Total gross - $109.2 million

I don't think it will drop that hard, it's got Thanksgiving its 2nd weekend, so it could something of the Shrek 2 2nd weekend sort when it faced The Day After Tomorrow. I think it will be on top for 3 weekends until Ocean's Twelve.

Opening: $70.5
2nd Weekend: $47.2 (-33%)
3rd Weekend: $17.9 (-62%) Bad weekend
4th Weekend: $13.4 (-25%) Nice recover
5th Weekend: $8.2 (-39%)

It's going to have a nice run.

I agree! :wink:

It'll bring in the kids, and that's it.
30/105.

50M/178M

62/172

Updated to shades033...

should be fairly big.. but with not the best legs

46.5 / 140

$21M opening
$74M final

I may be in the minority, but I think that this movie is going to be another one of those "love the TV show..but why go to the theatres and shell out money for it?" I also think it will be hurt by all the other kids movies and stuff like Bridget Jones and National Treasure which will interest the adults who may bring the younger kids to it. I'm thinking $15 to 17 million opening and maybe $60 million overall.

$300 million? Wow.

Open: $27.4m
Total: $104.5m

Off topic, but whoever is hotlinking their avatar, please don't i get screwed up pop up boxes to insert password.

And also, i think it's illegal in some way, not that they will catch you or anything, but it's semi-bothersome.

I predict that this movie will open with 18 million.

I think it's matatonio's signature. It happens in every thread I go in that he posted in.

It is matatonio, I believe. Not mine, anyway.

I guarantee this will do atleast Shrek (1) numbers.

Opening: $31m
Close: $82m
Mult: 2.65

That's a terrible multiplier for a family movie. I believe even Cat in the Hat had a better multiplier.

Terrible multiplyer for a terrible looking movie

You're underestimating the popularity of Spongebob.
