Which Movie Will be Number One This Weekend? Twilight? Bolt?

[GreenScar]

Which movie will be number one at the box office this weekend? We've got Twilight and Bolt opening plus Quantum of Solace will be in it's second week.

Twilight (according to Fandango) has sold out of 500 midnight screenings and is adding more screenings. They say that Twilight is now accounting for 86% of advance tickets being sold.

Can Bolt upset Twilight? Will Q of S have a chance? What do you think? How much do you think they'll do?

As much as I love Miley/Bolt looks kick ass, the tween/teen audience is definetly watching Twilight. I am too (guess I'm a teen, 18).

Probably Twilight teen girls will be all over this movie and probably watch it 5 times.

I know i will be watching it...against my will

Disney + Pixar = #1 Sorry to all the teenie boppers out there. I would be in total shock if Twilight was actually #1.

In fact, I think I'll do my part to help and go see Bolt 12 times...LOL

Bolt isn't Pixar. Nor do I think it's half as hyped as Twilight... we'll see.

[andyman1970]

It's still Disney and I guess the hype depends on how old you are.

Hopefully, Quantum of Solace will take the spot. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Hmm... I hope it's a big hit because it probably deserves it more than Twilight.

Unfortunately probably Twilight but I'm pulling for Bolt. F Twilight.

I've read the first book and I know why. It's because the characters hardly have any personality so anyone can fit their romantic life in it.

Also the guy in the movie stole James Dean's look =P.

I'm guessing Bolt will finish ahead of Twilight.

[P@t_Mtl]

I think Bolt will be over Twillight, I know I am seeing Bolt

[jtwise]

Quantum!

[redboxcar]

I kinda cheated, cuz I didn't really answer the question. I voted for Bolt because I think it looks better, but I think Twilight might take it because I've seen a lot of advertising and excitement for it.

Twilight will be number 1 this weekend due to the teeny bopper hype. Bolt will be solid, slightly behind Twilight. Quantum will see a dropoff after the bad reviews.

After this weekend, Twilight will get bad reviews and people will realize that it is just like a previously released movie with horrible pretty-boy acting called The Covenant (substitute Warlocks for Vampires).

Bolt will end up doing the best of the 3 over the long hall, with Quantum being second.


EDIT: Personally, I'm pulling for Bolt then Quantum.

Well I would have to go out on a limb and say twilight.

Based on the fact that every female I talk to on a regular basis, my wife included, loved the books....making it, in my opinion a chick flick.

Guys we all know the power of the P, so for every female going to see it this weekend, there will be a helpless guy with her.....

I'm gonna go with Twilight for sure. Haven't seen much marketing at all for Bolt. Plus Twilight is not just going to be a teeny movie, as the poster above me pointed out, many grown women like the books too. My ex is a very intellectual reader, and she told me how surprised she was that she totally loves the books.

Bolt will be number 1.

Yes, many grown women do like the books. But how often is a movie completely faithful to a book???
While we will have to wait and see about the movie, the trailers appear to be almost entirely made to appeal to the teeny movie audience (including the pretty-boy actors).
