Wow! Do you really think it will do THAT much?

I don't. I don't see it doing any more than $250 mil. Especially with Harry Potter opening the next weekend.

^^^ Yeah, I have a feeling it'll be big. I mean there hasn't been a disaster movie in awhile (except for The Core and that was..eh..) so I think it'll be a big breath of fresh air for everyone.

2. Shrek 2. Im gonna put this ahead of Harry Potter, 89 million

That seems a little low for the 5-day. What gives?
