Yeah, it's extremely limited. As in, no chance of cracking the list this weekend. (Only 138 theatres, compared to 3,555 for Poseidon.)

Once it gets a wider release and has a chance at cracking the list, I'll make mention.

I'm just hoping that Keeping up with the Steins is released in a theater near me, because I desperatly want to see it (mainly because of Jeremy Piven)! If not, I'll go see Poseidon.

Jeremy Piven rocks on Entourage. Ari is one of my favorite television assholes ever!

There's still 4 hours left to make your picks and have them count towards this weekend! Anyone that hasn't done so yet, is strongly encouraged to give 'er a go.

Thanks.

p.s. I think as a tie-breaker we should also predict the gross of the #1 film that weekend.

Excellent idea! I like that way better. We will start that next week. Thanks for the suggestion.







We can do it for this week as well, but it's not required since some people already voted without it. No biggie.


Week 1 is just to see if this is even a good idea to begin with...


Anyways, my guess is Poseidon will pull in about 38 million right ahead of MI3 which will get about 36. That's my guess.

Though bwind said it's not necessary for this weekend, I'm going to still do it. But, I'm going to predict the income of all ten movies.

1. Poseidon- $34.12 Million
2. Mission: Impossible 3- $20.5 Million
3. Just My Luck- $11.3 Million
4. RV- $8.5 Million
5. United 93- $6.22 Million
6. An American Haunting- $4.7 Million
7. Stick It- $4.3 Million
8. Silent Hill- $3.9 Million
9. Scary Movie 4- $2 Million

This upcoming weekend should be an interesting one at the box office with 2 HUGE new releases (The Da Vinci Code & Over the Hedge), not to mention the latest horror film to arrive, See No Evil.


I actually want to see all 3 of them, although I'll more than likely be waiting for all of them on video.
