Warner Home Video&#039;s remastering of the 70-year-old classic The Wizard of Oz is certainly this week&#039;s big release, but how many of you are going to be willing to shell out the dollars for the [...]]]></description>

1. Terminator Salvation
Please note that these projections don&#039;t include Monday&#039;s holiday. Now then, back in 1991 T2 opened at $31.8m. Given inflation, I think we can say a similar result would be near $50m. However, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines opened at only $44m in July [...]]]></description>

Back in May of 2006 Da Vinci Code opened at $77m domestically. The latest Hanks-Brown-Howard collaboration finished about $30m short of that. So what happened? That&#039;s why we&#039;re all here. Let&#039;s break it down.

1. Angels and Demons
The Da Vinci code cleared $20k per theater back in 2006. Angels &#038; Demons has 300 more theaters, but in the past three years people seemed to have soured on this franchise. So I think it can only hope for 75% of the returns [...]]]></description>

Star Trek did pretty well this weekend, but not enough to hit my lofty projections. No worries, it&#039;s going to stick around due to the solid reviews and word-of-mouth it&#039;s generating. Let&#039;s break it down.

#1 movie predicted correctly: 3 Weeks in a Row

1. Star Trek
Internet folks seem to have Star Trek opening anywhere from $72-$74m. I&#039;m taking it much higher, $24k per theater, completely ignoring the historical precedent of May and previous Star Trek titles. My logic is this: great reviews, a still-hungry public, and 40 years of free [...]]]></description>

If you consider Wolverine to be of the X-Men series then it was the second highest opening of the four films. However, it seems as though X-Men: The Last Stand did hurt the franchise as it opened below that film&#039;s $103m opening. Let&#039;s break it down.

I&#039;ve got it at Iron Man minus eight percent; I can&#039;t accurately judge if people are as excited to see it. It&#039;s helped a ton by the fact that it&#039;s first, but Star Trek looks like it&#039;s going to be helped by the fact [...]]]></description>

As a general rule &#034;crazy relationship&#034; movies don&#039;t make big money. Sure, Unfaithful made $120m back in 2002, but it only opened at $14m. Perfect Stranger is more typical, it cleared $73m after opening at $11.2m. I&#039;m putting this one slightly above that one, but it [...]]]></description>

Wow. Fast and Furious just posted the best April opening ever&#8230; by THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS. That&#039;s lunacy. It&#039;s also the best opening weekend of the year, and it topped 2 Fast 2 Furious by $22.5m too. I thought my prediction might be a little light, but I didn&#039;t think I&#039;d be $34m short.

Monsters vs. Aliens

Over the weekend Monsters vs. Aliens destroyed the box-office to the tune of an estimated $58.2 million. As a result the New York Times ran a headline saying &#034;3-D Helps Propel &#039;Monsters&#039; Success&#034;.

In June 2008 Kung Fu Panda was released and went on to clear $632 million. After a November 2008 release Madagascar 2 cleared $586 million.
