I would have said The Island wins this weekend because Bay movies bring in a good box office but the screen count is under 3000 and that's too few for my tastes.

I think Charlie will continue with $30 million, Bad News Bears with $28 million followed by The Island with $25 and the Wedding Crashes at $20-ish.

It goes against my which movie will I see this weekend theory but that is because I want to see The Island as well as Hustle and Flow which has gotten some pretty good reviews.

of all the weeks predicting so far, i am most surprised at the islands numbers. i guess bay needs bruckheimer more than he thought.

this weekend, sky high (which ive never heard of, but is getting over 2700 screens), stealth, and must love dogs opens. id stay away from stealth because it seems too similar to the island to me, except jaime foxx and biehl help it a lot. must love dogs opens, too, and we havent seen a romantic comedy come along in a while.

predictions in a few days, as i need to noodle this one.

Sky High is getting good reviews and it is a family film, so I say it grabs 1st with $30 million.

Wow. With opening numbers like that, Stealth has the potential to be a major money-loser. I would have thought it might put up close to $30M to open.

It is funny.

Yesterday I went, with the wife, to see "Must Love Dogs" (it was pretty decent). We saw the trailer for "The Corpse Bride," a dark animated movie by Tim Burton. I think it may be the only original idea for a movie that I have seen in the past few years.

Interesting... It looks like Deuce will have the bigger screen count but I don't see people going to Deuce in droves. Skeleton Key is the suspense/horror flick but I don't think they've done well this year. Four Brothers is a John Singleton flick and it has Marky Mark, Tyrese, and Andre 3000 of Outkast. It also has Terrence Howard, who is en fuego.

I think I'll go with Four Brothers taking it with $25 million, followed by Skeleton Key at $22 million, Dukes with $18 million, and Deuce with $17 mil.

2 awful release weeks in a row. makes me wonder why they didnt hold something like "Crash" till now, for both box office and oscar support.

Aug. 31 Theaters
The Constant Gardener 1,300

Sep. 2 Theaters
A Sound of Thunder 800
Transporter 2 3,200
Underclassman 1,200

im very tempted to go 40 year old virgin again, but instead ill go with new blood, just because my gut says virgin cant win 3 times in a row.

transporter - 16m.

its easier to make predictions when we have all the movies being released. im sure taz will change his prediction, too.

Cry Wolf 1,790
Just Like Heaven 3,508
Lord of War 2,814
Venom 489
The Greatest Game Ever Played 749 sneaks on 9/17
An Unfinished Life 753


with that in mind, its lord of war. 24m.

i cant bet against kids, though, myself, which is why i went with corpse.

ok...lets try and break my streak of 2 in a row on the wrong side...

The Greatest Game Ever Played 1,000
Into the Blue 2,700
Serenity 2,100+


im very interested to see how serenity does, just because its an entirely "fan brought back" movie...so i hope it kicks ass, just on principle. that said, you cant stop jessica alba, even in terrible, terrible movies...you can only hope to contain her.

into the blue - 22m

Jessica Alba and Ashley Scott...

wet...



I think Into the Blue will have to win. Serenity doesn't have the theatre count and Flightplan/Corpse Bride will do the usual 2nd week drop.

Into the Blue, $20 million.
