Well that's where I messed up last week with 'Prairie Home Companion', it hadn't opened wide yet.


Also, I don't think it makes sense to open on a Tuesday just for the marketing date.

Naw, it doesnt really. How much extra will they make with those couple days? And what if it opens & gets shredded by critics? Then, they'd be up shits creek without a paddle. They wouldn't even have the "opening weekend" thing going for them...

congrads BW...you were better than the rest of us...

I didnt expect X3 to tumble down so soon, and taking Da Vinci Code with it. Last Stand might have done #2, but #1?? damn.

Anyway, the curiosity value of the Pitt - Aniston break-up was more than the Jean Grey saga last week. Oh well.

1 thing about the curiosity value. If viewers are curious enough about Omen, then a release on a Tuesday wont matter. It takes only 3-4 days to break box-office records (as we have seen in X3 and other movies in the past) so lets see what happens to the Omen post 06 - 06 - 06.

I think X-Men will overcome The Break Up this week, but I doubt anyone will come close to touching Cars.

Well, it was a pretty low scoring week. Most of us only got Cars and 1 other film right, but I managed to hang on to the throne for another week. Next week's picks can be submitted any time...

This week, we have Garfield: A Tale of 2 Kitties, The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, Nacho Libre, and The Lake House all opening, as well as An Inconvenient Truth expanding to an additional 400+ theatres.

Good luck in week 6 everyone.
