DBerg, you left out number 8

[Peter Oberth]

i think my numbers will be off for Fahrenheit. Made an estimated (and astonishing $8.2 million yesterday to land at number 1. It already has a $9,000 per screen average and is already the number 4 documentary of all time, just barely behind Super Size Me. There is a good chance (and likely) that it will be the number 1 documentary of all time before the weekend is over, surpassing Moore's Bowling For Columbine which $21.5 million in it's whole run.

Fahrenheit is on course to do about $23 million for the weekend, easily handing it the number one for the weekend. And, this is only on 868 screens compared to to the 2,700+ of the likely number 2, White Chicks.

[Hakeem]

hotlantan has the best chances of winning so far :)

[Hotlantan]

Nah - I blew it this week. Spent so much time debating over Fahrenheit and White Chicks, I *completely* misread The Notebook and Two Brothers. And for winning this contest, guessing the Bottom 3 accurately is usually even more important than getting the Top 3 right.


PS: SFPeter/SFJohnny - does anyone from Shakefire respond to emails or IMs??? I've been trying to get a response - ANY response - to questions regarding the various prizes I've won this month, but I can't seem to get anyone to even acknowledge my multiple messages. What's the dilly-o? :confused:

[Hakeem]

I know Pandora reads and answers her PMs here. try her
