I hope estimates hold - I got all four bonus 3 questions right - which will help immensely!

Lol, Prometheus?

I love Grease, I'm quite stoked it was number 1 on the day I entered this cruel world.

I hope Prometheus does 55-60m - will be perfect for my summer game.

Thanks for the link, so Grease it is, was number one for the whole of September according to that.

It better, it's losing over half it's theatres.

What a strange Friday, we should definitely wait for RTH's later numbers before getting depressed/excited - late nights could change everything.

Never thought I'd say this, but I put more faith in Nikki's numbers.

I'm pretty confident nothing will!

My most over-rated film of the year was 'The Help', I can't believe it was nominated for Best Picture. It was just boring and cliched, Bryce Dallas Howard should have got an Oscar nom over Jessica Chastain though - how she got a nom for that I do not know.

The Avengers: 9/10The Hunger Games: 8/1021 Jump Street: 8/10The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel: 7/10Prometheus: 7/10The Cabin in the Woods: 7/10The Dictator: 7/10The Lucky One: 3/10

53% of the audience were female apparently. I wouldn't classify that as female-skewing personally.

That's great for SWATH. Remember the male:female ratio was almost identical and the average age around 30. Signs of decent legs.

Wow, you're doing brilliantly so far baumer!

I just want to clarify a scoring question: For the 5 out of 7 bonus and the 7 out of 7 bonus - is this for just calling them in the top 7 or do you need to have them in the exact opening spot too?

All Questions pertain to top 12 unless otherwise specified All questions are worth 1000 points unless otherwise specified 1) Will Prometheus open to more than 60 mill? No 2) Will Madagascar open to more than 44 mill? Yes 3) Will Madagascar have a Saturday increase of more than 20%? Yes 4) Will Prometheus make more than 1.5 mill at midnight? Yes 5) Will SWATH fall less than 46%? No 6) Will MIB3 have a Friday bump of more than 90%? No 7) Will Bel Ami have a theater average of more than $4000.00? Yes 8) Will Peace Love and Misunderstanding gross more than $60,000? Yes 9) Will The Avengers fall less than 42%? No 10) Will SWATH have one the two best Saturday increases? No 11) Will Marigold Hotel have the best drop? No 12) Out of the films that cost at least 150 million, which will have the best Sunday drop? SWATH 10/12 3000 11/12 4000 12/12 7000 Bonus 1: What will be the combined weekend total of Prometheus and Madagascar? 4000 $107.45m Bonus 2: What will be the combined total of all 3D films? 4000 $135.715m Bonus 3: What will THG's total be after this weekend? 4000 $400.132m Bonus 4: What finishes in slots: 6 The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel 7 What to Expect When You're Expecting 9 The Dictator 12 The Hunger Games 2000 each bonus of 5000 if you call all 4 correctly.

Really bad week for me.

Was hoping that Sat number would go up to 22m.

I was wondering what would happen if another movie is moved out of summer or moved to a different weekend. I'm thinking mainly of Total Recall, which is opening against Bourne Legacy and looks like it's going to bomb, especially when you consider the 200m budget.

Good numbers, hopefully SW can go up a bit more - I need it to increase at least 10% for summer game purposes, plus I want it to do well!

Truman Show

Moonrise Kingdom 7 sell outs? That's awesome!

What do people think the WW total will be from this start - anything less than 300m WW would be disasterous right?

Very tricky week this one, Nikki's estimates have a $0.2m difference between 4th and 7th and no details about the smaller openers. Hopefully the official estimates tomorrow clarify things.
