#1 movie predicted correctly: 4 Weeks in a Row

1. The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Twilight fell 62 percent. I&#039;ve got this version falling 57.5 percent, an improvement, but still highly frontloaded. New Moon is being greatly helped this weekend by the overall lack of competition.
Estimate: $61.0 million


2. Old Dogs
The consensus here seems to be &#034;why?&#034; I&#039;ll [...]]]></description>

#1 movie predicted correctly: 3 Weeks in a Row

1. The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Brad and I had one of our rare movie disagreements over this title, and it&#039;s most likely because I read the book while he stopped after Twilight. I thought it was a solid adaptation, he didn&#039;t dig it. It&#039;s okay, we&#039;re still [...]]]></description>

People were starving for an &#034;event&#034; movie and 2012 was definitely that. Brad didn&#039;t love it, and I&#039;m right there with him. It certainly had flaws. But it&#039;s been months since the last tentpole release, and timing was far more important than quality in this instance.

1. 2012
10,000 B.C. made over $10,000 per theater back in 2008. 2012 will do much better than that, I&#039;m bringing it in at $15,000 per this weekend. There&#039;s no real competition, this is a better film, and people are still starved for a hit. Fun fact about [...]]]></description>

At this point I think it&#039;s fair to say it&#039;s been a rough few months. The last film to make $100m domestically was released almost two months ago, and even the films that make a few bucks, like Christmas Carol, have fairly obvious flaws. What are we left with for 2009? Hoping and praying that [...]]]></description>

1. A Christmas Carol
First off, an apology that I wasn&#039;t here to take my beating after This is It failed so spectacularly (at least domestically). I was doing a bit of traveling and so Brad had to fill in. I&#039;ll try not to let it happen again!

1. Michael Jackson&#039;s This is It
I won&#039;t act like I feel great about this prediction. But it&#039;s where I&#039;m at, $15k per theater, nearly 3,500 theaters domestically. You guys had predictions ranging from $30m &#8211; $50m last weekend, does Wednesday&#039;s $7.5m make you reconsider? I don&#039;t think [...]]]></description>

1. Saw VI
I&#039;m dinging it. I&#039;ve got to, too much competition in the form of Paranormal Activity. The last version of Saw opened at $30m, only a year ago, but I don&#039;t feel like the momentum is there for this one. And yes, after all the spreadsheets [...]]]></description>

1. Where the Wild Things Are
Spike Jonze doesn&#039;t seem to know who the film is for. Same deal with Warner Bros. The film is rated PG, which would lead you to believe it&#039;s for kids. But it&#039;s pretty scary, and more than a little depressing. Which is [...]]]></description>

#1 movie predicted correctly: 1 Week in a Row

1. Couples Retreat
It really should win going away, nothing is being released wide against it. All you need to know about this weekend is that Fame still has the most theaters of any film. Ouch. Perhaps the theaters have started running infomercials instead.
Estimate: $24.0 million

Zombieland did even better than my bullish projection, evidence that the time of the horror comedy has come.
#1 movie predicted correctly: 1 Week In A Row

Only alert commenters Nick and John joined in picking Zombieland. The final tally on the most recent R Rated films goes: Inglourious, Final Destination, and Zombieland with wins. Jennifer&#039;s [...]]]></description>

1. Zombieland
It has a lot going for it. First off, it has the second most theaters (after Fame).  It also has 1300 more theaters than any new release. It&#039;s got a nice trailer, and Sony has done a solid job promoting it. What could go wrong? [...]]]></description>

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs only fell an estimated 18.8 percent, the 26th smallest drop of all time (of films that opened in at least 3000 theaters).

1. Fame
I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a good movie, but I do think it has the most broad based appeal. Step Up 2 The Streets opened at $7600 per theater. I only need this one to do $6000 to pull out the victory. That&#039;s half full theaters. Surely [...]]]></description>

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs dominated, as per expected. Only three alert commenters had the film over $30m (Eli, The Checkspot, Anonymous Friend). I was a little low.

1. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
The kids are underserved in the current market, so Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs should cruise to an easy victory. G-Force was the last film in this demo to take a weekend, six weeks ago.
Estimate: $25.0 million
