You know it will be big, but there isn't a whole lot of historical data to base it on.I could see Bolt floundering a little. It hasn't been hyped much, but it's hard to doubt an animated Disney movie.You could be right about the weekend not being that big- it'll come down to what happens with Twilight. I've seen predictions ranging from the $30's to over $100 million. It'll be one of those crapshoot predictions. Thanks, pacer.

Yeah, Fireproof was a surprise.I think I may have to doubt next weekend with my rookie film credentials at hand. While there is no question that QOS will pull in another 30-40 million, Bolt is something I am starting to doubt. It reminds me too much of an extremely un-hyped Beverly Hills Chicacucaua.Sorry for the misspelling -- I'm off to school. Great post, Fury I think you got pretty close as a prediction to Quantum of Solace — it is pretty hard to predict a movie that everyone wants to see. Yeah, Fireproof was a surprise.
