WIN up to 5,000,000 Points On "Transformers 2" Predict Box Office !!

[Jean-Pierre Bazinet]

Latest numbers:

... 55 Million on Wednesday... That puts the sci-fi actioner on track for at least a $170M five-day opening -- and probably more like $175M-$180M..

[Haazhel_Thorn]

even better...

Box Office Mojo midnights estimate: $16,000,000

Maybe it looks good, we will see.

But 4 players in the "170.1 Million (and over)"-group, those are three too much.

Yeah I was going to go for $170+ (expected something like $172) but with 4 people in it (5 if I joined) I thought there was better than a 1 in 5 chance it would make a little less (like Spiderman 3 or Pirates of the Caribbean 2), we'll see how this goes.

Noooo.......please let it only make 115.1 - 120 Million! it's bad movie and word of mouth is going to fizzle this thing by Saturday.

[j7wild]

which one of these M-L members will win?




will it be hlbimage's 115.1 - 120 Million prediction make him M-L's newest millionaire?

or will apocalyptic's 125.1 - 130 Million and tisteph's 170.1 Million (and over) predictions make one of them M-L's first Junior Member millionaire?

or will MovieLogoFan008's 125.1-130 Million and Hardkore's 145.1 - 150 Million predictions finally put one of them in the Big Boys club after 2 years of lurking?

or will goodasgold's 170.1 Million (and over) prediction finally give his name the title of Millionaire he has long sought to go with his name?

or maybe one of the following already Millionaire members will finally make Michalz00 sweat in his 2nd spot place:

jacques1400, redbear, cyberg4, Haazhel_Thorn, Mithrandir01

the suspense is so thick you can cut it with a knife!!

170 mil is a lock. You'll see...

don't call it too early and get 5 member's hopes up too soon

[Mithrandir01]

better with every hour...

Paramount's DreamWorks-produced action sequel "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" -- screened for a receptive group of European exhibitors at the Cinema Expo confab here earlier this week -- rang up $60.6 million in its first day in domestic release.

Par released the early estimate of first-day boxoffice Thursday morning. The figure included more than $16 million from midnight Wednesday performances, as the 2 1/2-hour, Michael Bay-helmed pic -- in which Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox reprise topliner roles -- seems well positioned to hit its projected $150 million-plus in opening-frame boxoffice through Sunday.

Let me see...

Good predictions:

Wed - 60
Thu - 25
Fri - 35
Sat - 40
Sun - 25

185 by Sunday

Bad predictions:

Wed - 60
Thu - 18
Fri - 25
Sat - 25
Sun - 15

153 by Sunday

So... 170 is in the middle. I think there are 65-70 percent of chance for 170 by Sunday.

wow Mithy, where do you get this info?



I wouldn't even know where to start to look!!



we need to make you the Box Office Grandmaster!!

[Mithrandir01]

$60,628,141

Opening day. Better was only The Dark Knight with 67 mil. But on Wednesday it is a breaking record!

If you're asking about 5 days predictions, they are based only on my experience with Box Office (since 2002 I think). :-)

how come even with the good predictions, Fri and especially Sat look kind of low to me?

I would think at least 40 on Fri and 50+ on Sat especially now that school is out and the kids are running free!!

It's easy. TF2 is very much frontloaded. There's a lot of fans of first part, who want to see second as soon as they can (wednesday). Thursday 50% drop is sure, maybe more (25-30 mil). Friday, first day of weekend will be some kind of opening day for people, who had no chance of seeing earlier and... that's all. Saturday and Sunday will be "normal days of opening weekend for a blockbuster" like TF2. Much depends on WOM. If will be good - higher numbers, if not (like reviews) - lower numbers.

I just want it to do well so there will be a #3 with more Megan Goodness!!
