Wow. I&#039;ve never been more pleased to be this far off. Clearly the fawning reviews and word of mouth gave Tarantino a little boost this weekend; or perhaps people were starved for a film with some decent dialogue. Either way, only two of your predictions had Inglourious Basterds in the $30m range, the most aggressive [...]]]></description>

The differences between G.I. Joe and District 9 couldn&#039;t be more clear. One had a budget north of $200m (if you include marketing) while the other had the name brand power of Peter Jackson.  The results have to make Hollywood wonder: should we just let good people do the work&#8230; outside our system?

#1 movie predicted correctly: 2 Weeks in a Row

1. District 9
The Peter Jackson produced District 9 is getting very healthy buzz, and it&#039;s a solid actioner. So why not? If you&#039;re choosing between slightly above average and flat out putrid I&#039;m hoping you&#039;ll choose this one.
Estimate: $30.5 million

G.I. Joe came down a bit from that initial $60m call, but it still had more than enough to win the weekend by a dominating $36m. The results are clear. People want action in August. Let&#039;s break things down.

1. G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra
We know it&#039;s not going to do Transformers numbers. The buzz simply isn&#039;t on the same level. So we&#039;ll deduct 47 percent (from the T-Formers sequel) and call it good. I&#039;m seeing it tonight, at midnight, so I&#039;ll be back on Sunday [...]]]></description>

I just can&#039;t give this Knocked Up dollars. I liked it quite a bit, but it&#039;s not as marketable. If it goes higher than this it will be because there is basically no competition out there. At all.
