I think Goldmember could see one of the biggest second week drops ever....

1- Signs: 52.42 Million
2- Goldmember: 31.5 Million
3- The Master Of Disguise: 9 Million
4- Road to Perdition: 6.5 Million
5- Stuart Little 2: 6.3 Million
6- K-19: 5.4 Million
7- MIIB: 4.7 Million
8- The Country Bears: 3.9 Million
9- Minority Report: 3.1 Million
10- Runteldat: 2.7 Million

* Full Frontal: 2.4 Million

[Tuukka]

Films that make 70 million on first weekend tend to have a drop of 45-55% on the second weekend. Besides, AP3 isn't getting particularly good response on exit polls and is pretty much disliked by people over 30. So expect it to make around 30-35 million on the second weekend. Fans of the series rushed to see it on the first weekend, it should have big drops every week.

1. Signs: 45 million.
2. Austin Power in Goldmember: 32 million.
3. The Master Of Disguise: 10 million.
4. Road To Perdition: 9 million.
5. Stuart Little: 7 million.

Some of you seem to be predicting that some films will actually increase their grosses since last week, which I find quite unlikely. But hell, my predictions are probably just as off this time, as they were last week.

BUMP!

[kenner436]

Signs will make a lot of money.

[dh1989]

I am no good at doing the whole top ten, so I'll just predict what the new releases will make.


Signs- This film is going to be huge. I am think it will become the third biggest film of the summer. It should fall behind only Spider-Man and Star Wars- Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Those films had a big built-in audience while this film will play off three things Mel Gibson, M. Night Shymalan, and the alien/scare factor, but the trailers are selling those factors beautifully. You get to see Mel Gibson running scared and fighting those aliens. You see M. Night Shymalan's name right before the title in the trailer and it notes that he directed The Sixth Sense. Finally, you get brief, but cool shots of an alien hand and a foot and a spooky alien shriek(at least I thought that what it was at the end of the newest trailer). The theatre count is over 3000 and the film appeals to people across the board. I predict a great 52 million opening and a finsih of blockbuster status(278 million or so).

The Master Disguise- You all are wrong about this film. It has the biggest comedian ever starring. Great effects and a famous director. Early reviews are glowing and it appears to be more interesting than Mulholland Drive. I predict 235 million opening weekend and a 4.7 billion dollar final. JUST KIDDING!!!! This film will be a bigger bomb than the one that smacked Hiroshima. I predict a 6 million opening and a 17 million final. Kids movie have not been doing well lately.

Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat- I think this film looks hilarious, but the lack of broad interest and theatres will make this get a small gross. I predict a 5.3 million opening and a strong hold to a 26 million final.

Full Frontal- I have been seeing a million commercials for this and the trailers get laughs. Julia Roberts and David Duchovny's names will bring in audiences, but the mainstream might be turned off. I think this will open with 1.3 million and after along run with expansions to more theatres, will finish with 24 million.
