Movies: Weekend Box Office. How did I do?

This is what I predicted:

  1. Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End
  2. Shrek the Third
  3. Spider-Man 3
  4. Disturbia
  5. 28 Weeks Later

And this is how it ended up

  1. Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End
  2. Shrek the Third
  3. Spider-Man 3
  4. Bug 
  5. Waitress
So, I got the first three right. Which is nice. I completely underestimated Bug. Maybe the generally good reviews I saw for it was what drew the people in. And Waitress has the makings of a feel-good indie hit of the summer. That is if any movie whose director was tragically strangled in her own apartment could be a "feel-good" hit. More bittersweet than feel-good I think. 
 
But I do take a certain amount of glee in the fact that Pirates did not knock off Spidey 3 as highest 3-day weekend of all time. See, Disney? You should consider how I will look the next time you give out phony theater counts! That'll show ya!
 
So. after 5 weeks of doing this, I am 14 for 25, for an average of .560. And, no. I don't know why my average went up after scoring less correct than I did last week. And yes, I am calculating the average right. I think.
