In brief, because it is late and I am tired, here is what I predicted:
- Hostel Part II
- Ocean's 13
- Knocked Up
- Surf's Up
- Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End.
Here is what Jeff predicted:
1. Ocean's Thirteen
2. PotC
3. Hostel
4. Surf's Up
5. Knocked Up
And here's how it all ended up:
- Ocean's Thirteen
- Pirates of the Carribean At World's End
- Knocked Up
- Surf's Up
- Shrek the Third.
Hostel Part II came in at number 6. I guess I was wrong in underestimating the taste of the American Public. I'm sorry, American public. I'll try not to do it again.
So, I am 2 for 5 this week, making me 18 for 35 after 7 weeks, giving me an average of .511. Jeff is 3 for 5 after one week for an average of .600. We have the makings of being the Maris and Mantle of movie prognostication.
I'm glad that Knocked Up took third. I figured we'd see Surf's Up open bigger, but I guess that and Shrek split the kid viewing dollar, to the detriment of both.

This weekend, I'm not even sure where to put things. I don't think FF will win the weekend right now, to be honest. we might also see a boost for Hostel and a sharp dip for Pirates. I think Knocked Up is going to have legs - it won't take the top spot, most likely, but it will be a persistent top 5 entry.
ReplyDeleteI'll dicuss more on Thursday, but I did want to mention two things: 1. I think FF 2 could win. and 2. I dig the success that Knocked Up has had to date. Having the entire budget recouped in the first week is a good thing.
