: those are what's called "predictions." unless they are psychic and can already see the results....
As somebody who has followed box office results week in week out for the past 6 years or so, I can safely say we won't get #1 at this point.
Guaranteed.
You simply will not see that big of a jump, the Fri/Sat estimates and the Tues actuals are never off by that much percentage wise.
Going into Saturday we led AP2 by $400k. Makes sense, all the fans saw J&SB Fri night.
Saturday, AP2 out sold J&SB by $2.1 million. It will only get worse today.
However, we can take over #3, *MAYBE*, if we all get out and go see it again today. So, GO SEE IT, NOW!!!
We'll find out for sure on Tuesday.
