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

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.

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

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.

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.
