My worst prediction ever - Troy!!! I predicted a $65m opening and a $310m finish!!! I thought it would be the sure thing super hit of the summer ahead of Shrek 2's $275m but behind Spiderman's $350m. So you can say I skrewed up Shrek's gross aswell.

In the past ive predicted - $120m total for Johnny Mnemonic in 1995 and that only made $20m.

I said BASEketball would do $75m and it made virtually nothing.

I must have been smoking something when I predicted Ring 2 would make $150m.

I honestly thought A.I would open to $50m and make $200m - but it got nowhere near it.

I thought Prisoner of Azkaban would make nearly $350 million, it fell $100 million short of that - though I nailed the opening.

I never thought Shrek 2 could go that high - no one really did - but I had it down at $285 million - way short.

More recently, I way overpredicted Kingdom of Heaven (thought it would get $35 million). I did the same thing to Troy last year, when I thought it would open to $60 million. King Arthur also. There's something about those historical epics that makes me think they'll do well, but they never do.

Ah, yeah, I underpredicted Meet the Fockers. Thought it'd make less than the original and overpredicted Ocean's Twelve big time.

And I tried to talk you out of overpredicting The Ring Two

I'm telling you, the next you'll overpredict will be POTC2

Yeah, I know. :wink: I look at the yahoo grade now though, and I'm not sure that WOM for The Ring was as amazing as I thought. It's only a B. :???: As for POTC, I'm still going over 400m. Heck, I think it might hit 500m. The original has some of the best WOM in recent decades.

But so did The Ring Two as well. Heck, its multiplier is better than POTC's. Depending on the quality, I think it might hit $300 million, but $400 million? Nope.

Titanic. I was 100% certain that the film would rocket past $1B, but it failed miserably and grossed an abominable $600m. Off by $400m, can anyone beat that?

Well, I think it's hard to compare legs between The Ring and POTC for a number of reasons the main one being that The Ring opened in less then 2,000 theaters and then expanded, while POTC actually opened in 3,000+ theaters.

And because of the Halloween effect as well, I know. However, even then, you must admit that The Ring's legs were splendid. Yet the sequel didn't reflect much of this. Its opening more than doubles the original's openig, but then again, it's not too hard if the original opened to $15 million. I don't see why POTC's opening should make any more than just twice of what POTC has made in its opening weekend, especially, since POTC already opened quite well.

Okay, off the top of my head, my most infamous one, that most mojoers know about is prediction that TTT would fall by about 15% and fross 264 mill. That is one I will never live down.

I also said that The Matrix would never fly because it was a dumb movie abotu computers. What a joke. I thought it would perform much like 13th Floor did.

When I was 13, I told my best friend that I didn't want to go see some stupdi ass movie about some retarded car that goes back in time. How the hell can you go back to the future anyway? YEA...whatever, bit the big one on that one also.

I think I said Pireate of the caribbean would gross 110 mill. :Respect:

I think the Ring is more like Napoleon Dynamite. People just went to see it because people were talking about it, not because they were loving it.

We all thought the Ring 2 would do well. How could we have not? And it would have made that much if it was a good film.

My most infamous bad prediction was for Hulk, which I predicted 85/301. Of course, there were a few geniuses that couldn't tell the difference between things I said and things BKB said, so I got credit for predicting $400M for it.

Pirates of the Caribbean was another bad prediction. I didn't think it would do but $150M or so.

The Passion of the Christ was another. I can't remember what I predicted, but I was off by about $250-$300M.

I won't be predicting anymore movies with POTC in their initials.

I predicted Finding Nemo would make around $200M.

Other predictions have been off, but nothing that are Hall of Shame caliber predictions. For instance, I predicted Freddy vrs. Jason would make $100M. It made a little over $80M, so I'm not hanging my head over it.

:laugh:

Good one!

Without question POTC. I was convinced it had no chance at 100M, and think I predicted somethwere in the mid 50s as a final #. Just a wee tad off on that one.....esp. since I now think its one of the best Pirate films ever, but I remember being convinced this would be another Cutthroat Island.

Yeah?? And looking on your comments now, I'd say in hindsight, you were right.. They did suck.. :laugh:

I thought Passion would've made more money than it did. $370 million only? That's alot but I thought Christians would've flocked to it much more than that...

Yeah - I thought it would only do $170m - off by $430m!!!! \:D/
