Wow, I actually have the highest cumulative gross? Awesome.

On the topic at hand, I won't make a prediction but I do believe the dark content will play a major factor.

I'm also surprised that no one has mentioned the effect MM will have on TDK's OW. Alot of us are forgetting that the film is not the sole opener, but actually only one of three, something POTC2, Spiderman3 and Shrek3 did not have to face. MM is tracking well and is going to steal females, where as Space Chimps will try its best for kids.

Factoring in everything, I do see it matching the lofty expectations that most analysts have for it. I can't wait to see it, but it would be unfortunate for it to considered "disappointing" like some people have ruled "Hancock" and "Wall-E" performances.

Shhh! Batman good; nothing else opening. Tunnel vision good!

Yeah.. because Mamma Mia and Space Chimps play to the same demo as TDK don't they?

Hold on...

Wait for it...

It's coming...

Nearly there...

Just about...

3...

2....

1.....

I will say that there is some definitely good counter programming next week.

The Dark Knight - more male oriented (plus myself)
Mamma Mia - more female oriented (including myself)
Space Chimps - for the kiddies (not myself included)

So if TDK is sold out, I'll shoot on over to Mamma Mia.

Preliminary Updates:

ULTIMATE FY

Boy, wholesale changes at the top. bink dropped from 1-4, ash from 2-7 and Thomassi from 3-9. JackO, tcwilson and spyspeeder are now tied for 1st.

Oh, and the six-headed jas/geezer/legend/sean/surfer/arrow hydra? Is now tied for 130th.

platinumbear moved out of the RZ, but he STILL hasn't even entered Round 7. If he hasn't by tomorrow, he is DQ'd. Pretty much everyone else in the RZ has TDK, so you know THAT will look way different next week.

ULTIMATE HY

pulpclub takes the lead with two weeks to go, replacing Chien who drops to 3rd. sean14307 is poised to make a move from 4th place with TXF2 still to give him some much-needed User Rating points.

BOX OFFICE FY

Kompressr takes a slim lead over Thomassi with a total of $1.122B. However, one cannot take one's eyes off of synestro, who lurks in 11th place with $982M and TDK getting ready to spread its wings...

25 of the bottom 28 players have TDK. Everyone in th Top 17 has at least $937M, and it's hard to imagine that amount not being enough to make the cut, which means that there will be a few rosters that TDK won't be able to save. It might be the ones with TDK and Mamma Mia! that make the biggest moves.

BOX OFFICE HY

Kompressr's total in this tournament is also $1.122B, but he is spent, with basically just Wanted and HBII still going. I think it is now officially down to just him and geezer, who has $937M, HBII and TDK. Should be a great finish!!

Damn it. Why does TDK have to be so huge?! Argh. I neeeed the win...or an IM somewhere...anything. Lol. Atleast I can take comfort in the fact that I can see it 43 times opening weekend and it won't add to the US gross.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with Geez to win the HY tournament Kompy. Both of your Hellboy's are cancelled out which means its a straight fight between your 185m lead/ Wanted and Geez's TDK. I think TDK has more than enough fire power to win this one.

:crosses fingers:

Here's hoping TDK doesn't completely destroy the world in the next two weeks!

I want my IM!

Its kind of funny that the league I have the best chance to win is the league that i had my only semi-scare in. Back in January I thought Cloverfield might have busted me early, but I survived it and now I have a shot to win it all. Come on TDK, bring in that 220 million 10 days!

I was wondering, since Journey 3D wasn't available for selection in the ULT leagues, does that mean that every movie moves one up PTA and TOP5 wise?

No Kompressr, its just a dead spot because it was available in other leagues.

I replied to this thread yesterday and now my reply is nowhere to be seen.

Anyway, I said that some of us did not have a choice on picking Space Chimps since Henry Poole got moved this late in the season.

I heard found out about the henry poole move around the same time that longshots was moved. I had both on my slate. I ended up picking up kitt kittrage instead of space chimps and went with x-files over meet dave. Either way I was going to end up with an empty spot on my roster.
