Sounds like you may be the winner CZAR if Shutter Island doesn't pull it out

You would have 1 more point than I do (which I think me and a few others would have 10 points before the tie breaker of being closest to the #1 amount).

Edit: Whoops, my mistake.

If Shutter Island losses to Brooklyn, you would have got 1,2 and 3 right. If it beats it, I would have 1, 2 and 4.

So if Shutter Island losses you have 11 and I have 7. If it wins I have 10 and you have 5.

I am almost tempted to post that Stewie anger pic from the Barbie.

VICTORY IS MINE.

These are the likely going to be the top guesses (unless Finke's numbers are way off...then I just wasted my time typing this):

Bold - Will definitely be right

Underlined - Might end up being right

It declined about 45% last weekend, but I don't think it will decline quite as much this weekend. It'll drop 40% imo.

4. Cop Out - $8M
I don't think this one will hold that well. About a 55% drop.

I didn't see Chaotic's post at first. He could end up with 4 out of 5

If Shutter Island tops Brooklyn, the top 4 are

Chaotic
CHERRYGARCIA
Jeffrow
Diesel

I would be tied with Cherry and Jeffrow but didn't put a high enough estimate for Alice and lose the tie breaker. Cherry wins the tie breaker

If Brooklyn wins the top 2 are

CZAR
Sussudio

Well I was right, it looks like Avatar pulled in that $3.6M on Saturday

Shutter Island and Brooklyn's Finest are going to be a close fight for 2nd

That one did much better than I expected it too, especially with a good bit lower theater count the most of the other movies.

Avatar slipped more than I expected, I was off by $3M for it and $1M for Cop Out. Looks like I'll be right on the money for Shutter Island and The Crazies (but it won't finish in the spot I thought it would with Brooklyn's Finest doing so well).

We all missed Alice by quite a bit

So, I got the #1 right (but wasn't the closest, I think someone said $75M), might get #2 right if Shutter Island edges out Brooklyn's Finest and will get #4 right.

Well that blew my 50 mill estimate out of the water

cajmoyper · 03-07-2010, 04:08 PM

I think BOM works backwards in putting up their numbers but they have Alice in as having the 6th highest weekend ever at $116 mil. Here's a link to that.

Alice #6

BOM says Brooklyn edged out Shutter for the estimates.

But it is only a $200K difference, now we wait for the actuals

Alice - $116.3M
Brooklyn $13.5M
Shutter Island - $13.3M
Cop Out - $9.145M
Avatar - $7.7M
The Crazies - $7.016M

I got Alice and Avatar in the right place

I pretty much failed everywhere else

MattW · 03-07-2010, 08:34 PM

I go skiing for the weekend and now I'm finding out Alice made 116 million opening weekend in March for God's sake. That is insane.

I know right!!!!

Looks like 3D is really taking off!

Blu Titan · 03-08-2010, 12:31 AM

Since the second place estimates between Brooklyn's Finest ($13.5 million) and Shutter Island and ($13.3 million) so close I will wait until the actuals are released tomorrow to announce the top three spots in The Box Office Game.

CZAR · 03-08-2010, 03:05 PM

"Waits patiently for the results"

Got Em!!

seriously...Alice's opening was about 40mil higher than most high-end estimates..impressive!

mikejet · 03-08-2010, 06:25 PM

A lot of people I know that went to see Alice, well, they were under the influence.

Wow, good job. I only got the #1 spot right. It seems as if you mess up the #2 spot, it's easy to screw up the rest...
