i think it may do better the second week...excess j*zz will need to be cleaned up after each showing, which will decrease how many each theater can show each day

Trying to guess how many weekends it'll be at #1 could be fun, too. Titanic has the record for consecutive week at 15, ET has the most total at 16.

I've never watched ET all the way through.

And while I think this will open like an absolute bomb, I don't think it gets within sniffing distance of Avatar or Titanic's total; although it'll probably climb to #3.

i recorded ET on starz a few months ago, but haven't gotten around to watching it

Someone mentioned titanic. And we're really using how much money it makes as a guide?

I despair.

We're not using it as a guide for anything; it's just fun to try and guess. Sheesh.
