: I disagree that 'Dogma' will be #1 (tho we can all hope)...

I agree.

: ... but I do think it has two things in it's favor: 1, is word of mouth (which may play a bigger part next week)

And good critical notices.

: 2, is the fact that 'Pokemon' opened on Wednesday (and today in most places is a holiday) - that could affect the Friday-Saturday-Sunday total.

I agree. I keep wondering why people seem so insistent that Wed-Thu will help POKEMON in weekend totals when Fri-Sat-Sun is the weekend. The only time that Wed-Thu would figure into proxy "official" total is a real holiday weekend (like when most of the country has the day off, not just government workers and banks). The week after next weekend as an example.

I still don't know what you subject line is supposed to mean. Are you saying movies don't open with $20 million in November? Strongly disagree there. Are you saying that in November $20 million isn't enough to hit number 1? That I will agree with. It's really unclear.
