    Even a little more. It will be BO success. Maybe not a smash-hit, but sequel is sure.

    im glad they can call it a success, obviously the opinion of 'success' is different from mine. i wouldn't called wolverine a success at all ... maybe a minor distraction, or a speed bump - nothing more.

    there was an article on the internet yesterday about someone leaking a copy of Wolverines before it opened and the movie studio is going to prosecute because they claim the movie could have had a $100 million plus opening if it wasn't pirated on the internet first.

    Yet the movie studio has no explanation on how they came about the 15 million difference and now they want to prosecute.



    I'll see if I can find that article again!!

    In other news, there is only 2 days left to place your bids!!

    As an accredited, legitimate film critic, I've already seen the film. Can't talk much about it, but, from a non-Trekkie point-of-view, it's very, very good. Not great, just really, really good.

    My prediction is between $75-85 million<<scratch that

    My prediction, adjusted due to the rules is 100 Million (and under)

    ending with

    Last Showings on Sunday May 10th


    with Star Trek:
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796366/




    Choose from ONE of these outcomes only:

    100 Million (and under)
    100.1 - 102 Million
    102.1 - 104 Million
    104.1 - 106 Million

    130.1 - 132 Million
    132.1 - 134 Million
    134.1 - 136 Million
    136.1 - 138 Million
    138.1 - 140 Million

    156.1 - 158 Million
    158.1 - 160 Million
    160.1 - 162 Million
    162.1 - 164 Million
    164.1 - 166 Million
    166.1 - 168 Million
    168.1 - 170 Million
    170.1 Million (and over)

    (note that .1 means anything over zero
    ie: 10,000,000 = 10 Million --- 10,000,001 = 10.1 Million)


    for predicting closest result - 4,000,000 credits

    using ONLY the ABOVE OUTCOMES CHOICES but you can only pick one.

    You may however change your pick as many times as you want prior to

    the entry deadline of 10 am, U.S Central time, Friday, May 8th


    If there is more than one winner - the prize will be divided equally between them.

    You don't need to bet any credits to play and you can't lose any of your current credits.

    BUT you must be a REGISTERED MEMBER of the Movie-List.com forum to play.

    It's free and it's quick and it's easy to Register:

    http://www.movie-list.com/forum/register.php


    Last day to post your entries is at 10 am, U.S Central time, Friday, May 8th


    Credits will be paid out to the winner(s) on Friday, May 15th

    Good Luck!
    I just checked fandango.com

    most of the theaters here have 7-10 showings tonight starting at 7pm, with the latest one I seen at 12:50 am including a couple of IMAX showings.

    so if any of you want to change your predictions based on this, you still have until 10 am Central Time tomorrow morning to do so.
