No more predicting/revising on <i>Herbie</i>.

According to Box Office Mojo, <i>Howl's Moving Castle</i> is estimated to have grossed another $802,000 for the weekend, which brings its current total to $1.42 M. Still has a looooong way to go to reach the mean prediction of $17.3 M. <i>Ice Princess</i>, <i>The Pacifier</i>, and <i>The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy</i> are all more or less wrapping up their box office runs, it seems. So I don't expect current leaders on those to change anytime soon. We'll have to wait until tomorrow to see how much <i>Aliens of the Deep</i> fell for the weekend.

wow, almost accurate castle! how...interesting! :o

Hmm, if Pacifier can make over $100 M, then Herbie should make $100 M. ;)
Then again, I'm sure many people would pay to see Vin babysit over Lindsay's racing! :p (just kidding)

2) Mr. and Mrs. Smith $3.1 M
3) Herbie: Fully Loaded $2.7 M

7) Sharkboy and Lava Girl $0.8 M

Yeah Star Wars passed 350 million! :D

Anyways getting back on topic, kids are in school, but I still don't think it's going to do well. I mean not only have alot kids never heard of Herbie, but I don't think loads of people are going to go to the movie just because Lohan is in it like Krystal thinks. I think it will do so-so.

16 13 <b>Howl's Moving Castle</b> BV $560,000 -35.2% 202 - $2,772 $2,493,000 - 3

I've bolded the two Disney ones. Unless <i>Herbie</i> has phenomenal legs, it's looking at about $50 million domestically. That was the film's budget, so it won't turn a profit theatrically unless international intakes can offset the high marketing costs. But of course I'm sure it will do fine on DVD.

Wow, Bewitched did well the first week! :)
I should be rooting for Herbie :headshake: but my guestimate is far off.
It's like when MMP guessed $650 M for Ice Princess.
with a typo of course 8)

Don't see that happening. I think the next chance (and it's more than a outside chance really) will probably be <i>Chicken Little</i>. Like last year with <i>Incredibles</i> and <i>Treasure</i>, <i>Chicken</i> and <i>Narnia</i> will have to pick up the pieces and put Disney back on track after what's been a mostly unspectacular year so far, with the exception of <i>The Pacifier</i>. There are a couple of Touchstone films coming out too, but I'm not sure how well they're expected to do.

wasn't there a Jodie Foster thriller about an airplane coming? That could do well. We'll see, but I agree about the 2 movies a la Treasure and Incredibles.

Yeah, there's <i>Flight Plan</i> (the Jodie Foster thriller), <i>Dark Water</i> (another thriller starring Jennifer Connelly, which opens in a few weeks), and the Steve Martin comedy <i>Shopgirl</i> in the fall. I don't think expectations are TOO high for any of them, but they could be decent-sized hits. In any event, 2006 will almost certainly be bigger, even from just what's already on the slate so far.

yes 2006 will be bigger. Usually I don't do extreme predictions saying a certain movie will have the biggest opening weekend ever, but I truly believe Pirates 2 will break a LOT of records. Its fanbase and appeal is at least as broad as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Depp, Bloom and Knightly are certain to cause another teenage hormone explosion as well next summer. Cars will also do well. Though the CG movie is no big event anymore, the moviegoing audience is now very much aware of Pixar's track record and brand name. Those two movies will be BIG.

Plus don't forget the Tim Allen spring/fall twosome with <i>Shaggy Dog</i> and <i>Santa Clause 3</i>. Familiar titles and a Disney star the public has taken to again and again.
