That is much, much better for WHD. I expect a good Saturday hold and some very nice business near Independence Day. Still a letdown, but 100 seems within good reach.

Funny, Gerard Butler is the reason that I COULDN'T bring myself to love OHF. I haven't ever liked him in anything not called 300. He was solid, but......And Eckhart was way too vanilla for me. I haven't seen WHD, but Tatum and Foxx is just a much, much better combo.

Over the course of their careers, yes- all three are Pantheon guys. But Lebron has been better the past four years (and will be better the next four) than any other stretch since Jordan.

Not better THAN Jordan, the best SINCE Jordan. I don't see how it's a debate. 30-8-8 every night with elite defense at five positions and a .550 FG percentage. Unstoppable.

LMAO, still stuck in two years ago, I guess. Lebron is so clearly above anyone else on both our team AND the rest of the NBA it's not even close. Dude beat the second best player in the NBA (Durant) and a top five player of all time (Duncan) in consecutive Finals with Wade injured and Bosh playing mediocre.

And then, after he does all that, he'll still be the best player since Jordan and win multiple titles. Go Heat!

A movie with Lebron and Dwyane Wade as buddy cops called the Heat would have made much, much more money.

Wolverine is a 65 million opener waiting to happen, and I think that July and August have good depth. Also, I'm very sad about WHD numbers, but I'm even more sad that I'm going to be reading endless diatribes about Tatum not being a huge draw (which he is) even though he was completely let down by marketing and OHF stealing the thunder from this movie. Same with Foxx. In time, they will prove themselves to be kings. In time.

September for sure, followed by January/February. October has been pretty good in recent years, actually.

My fingers are more than humanly possible crossed for that to happen.

Pffft, aren't we cool....

NYSM is still the most surprising and interesting run of the summer, to me.

So guys, how bout airline food?

For real. I enjoyed TASM, but I'm afraid to mention it because I think everyone will consider me a lunatic.

MU numbers are monstrous, no pun intended.

SUMMER WEEKDAYS..........HAD ME A BLLL-AAAAAA-SSSSSST!

Not bad. Not bad at all!

Pixar, just like any other studio, should make good movies. Who cares if that good movie is a sequel, or original? What matters is quality, and MU proved to be alot higher quality than some of Pixar's original movies.

Forgot to mention, in honor of my favorite movie of the year, I sang Everybody (Backstreet's Back) at karaoke the other night.

Winner

I want to try and bet as many different people as possible, dj! If nobody else takes this bet by tonight, you can have it! If not, I don't want to double bet.

Bet proposal- Names/sigs for a month that Lone Ranger does over 120 domestically. I got the over. Anybody say it does under?

So, if we're speaking realistically, PA3 has the horror opener crown for the forseeable future, unless you really stretch the definition with Signs and Hannibal
