@The Panda I dont think its going to matter but, if its not too late, the last ranked film on my list was supposed to be Kung Fu Panda 2 not 3.

So more than 12 hours? I guess I might be able to get to either Pulp Fiction or Taxi Driver by that time. But I'll just edit them in then. Right now I am giving some finish ups to my list and will shortly post it.

I have only watched Vertigo

Money Monster: $28m Higher Nice Guys: $60m Popstar: $25m Me before You: $45m Higher Now you see me 2: $65M Higher Free State of Jones: $43M The Shallows: $28m Higher The purge: $42m Higher

220m$/1400m Yuan seems like a likely total at this point provided nothing out of the ordinary happens.

I'm watching Chinatown tomorrow and then I'll post my list.

181m is really really great! Still keeps it up for passing Ulton and that was the most and the best I hoped for. You guys should go check out the scoffs at that CW over A2 club (atleast early on, havent revisited it recently so do not know if things changed)

What about an On The Spot? You know, like within 5% of the given gross. Well you'll have to slightly adjust the higher and lower categories, but I think this should be an option.

I ended up being just a little late for the second and third parts of week 1. The topic got closed while I was editing

I have been watching lots of great films but there are still some more I need to watch. I'll try to get through them this weekend and submit a list soon after.

So my predictions are the exact averages. Thats Cool.

1) Will Civil War open to more than $150m? Yes 2) Will Civil War open to more than $175m? Yes 3) Will Civil War open to more than $200m? 3000 Yes 4) Will Civil War open to more than $220m? No 5) Will Civil War's OW account for more than 82% of the total weekend Box office take? 2000 No 6) Would Civil War's Thursday Preview total be within $5m of being enough to win the weekend on its own? Yes 7) Will Civil War drop less than 25% on Saturday? 2000 Yes 8) Will Civil War's Sunday make more than $50m? Yes 8) Will Jungle Book drop more than 43% this weekend? No 9) Will Huntsman finish above Keanu this weekend? 3000 No 10) Will Mother's Day drop less than 57% this weekend? No 11) Will Zootopia make more than $4m this weekend? No 12) Will Zootopia pass Batman vs Superman's total gross by the end of the weekend? 2000 Yes 13) Will Ratchet and Clank stay above the Boss this weekend? No 14) Will at least 4 films increase over 200% on Friday? No 15) Will Barbershop cross $50m by the end of Saturday? Yes 16) Will Star Wars the force awakens increase this weekend? 2000 No 17) Will hardcore Henry make less than $12,500 this weekend (getting pulled from theatres counts as a yes for this question)?

740m OW 1800m Total

This is unbelievable. I totally expected around 20m$ before release but even 25m$ would have been too much to expect, then. Now its crossing 35m$. Thats crazy!

I think April and the Extraordinary World is going to make it. That means we have got two near-definite locks now, in Zoo and this. Believing that Dory will make it too, we only get 2 places left. KFP3, Kubo and the 2 strings, Little Prince and Moana are the current contenders for those. If two of them fail to deliver and/or Secret life of pets gets lots of love, it might take one of their's places. Can't see anything else for now.

The Machinist (2004, Christian Bale)
