Everyone seems to agree about Austin Powers 3, I do too.

1- Austion Powers 3: 69 Million
2- Road To Perdition: 12 Million
3- Stuart Little 2: 11 Million
4- The Country Bears: 9 Million
5- K-19: 8 Million

I thought Stuart Little 2 would have done much better, however the original had a mediocre opening and had great stamina. I think that SL2 will have great legs for the rest of the summer. It's only competiton is Spy Kids 2.

Ideal's Predictions:

1. Austin Powers in Goldmember $65.5 million
2.Stuart Little 2 $15.5 million
3.Road To Perdition $12.9 million
4.K19 $11.3 million
5.Men In Black 2 $9.6 million
6.Mr.Deeds $5.0 million
7.The Country Bears $4.5 million
8.Reign Of Fire $4.2 million
9.Lilo and Stitch $3.9 million
10.8 Legged Freaks $3.7 million

You guys really think that The Country Bears will make that much??????


If The Powerpuff Girls and Hey Arnold could barely make $6 million their first weekends, I can not see The Country Bears doing better than those two films. It is gonna bomb bigtime!

[Cyclonus]

So we're all agreed: Austin Powers 3 will be a smash. Stuart Little 2 should be just as successful with the younger crowd.

I have a question for ya guys: how do you determine the amount of money you think a film will make?

I use a secret Zen technique that obviously doesn't work well because I predicted Stuart Little 2 would make $37 million.

In all seriousness, I make a scientific guess, based on screen count, popularity, and yes, other people's guesses (not so much though). Usually the decimals are there to make it look fancy.

Well, I am not the kind of person who will just pick any number. I try to take my box-office predictions as seriously as possible.

My predictions are based on popularity, hype, buzz, reviews, screen counts, and hell, even the trailers and T.V. spots.

However, sometimes, just like everybody else, I will just screw up so badly. Example: I really thought Stuart Little 2 was going to make $30_$40 million.
