    Default Box Office Forecast for July 14th thru 16th

    Two new comedies are opening this weekend:

    1. Little Man - 17 million
    Over -137
    Under +121

    2. You, Me and Dupree - 22.5 million
    Over -110
    Under -106

    I'm taking the over on Little Man and the under on Dupree.

    P.S. I have been wrong the last two weeks. Both Pirates & Prada killed their number.

    Little Man looks like it could be a big bust at the box office from the previews i've seen.

    It's the Wayan Brothers. Look how much those Scary Movies did! There's more than enough people with bad taste who will see this movie.

    There's just something funny about black midgets. I love the over for "Little Man"

    Remember that Looney Tunes character...the bank robber who disguised himself as a baby? I think the Wayan Bros. stole the idea for this movie from that character.

    I will post the weekend box office results Sunday evening/night.

    So you guys actually taking any of these wagers? I see Tchocky is.

    I ended up passing, but am still interested in seeing the results.

    Since some bet on this stuff, maybe I will make a post about the results everyweek. No matter if bets were placed or not. Interesting to see the money flowing out on certain movies.

    Here are Friday's estimates, Total Gross & # of sites:

    1 Pirates of Caribbean 2 $18.6 $214.7 4133
    2 Little Man $7.5 $7.5 2533
    3 You, Me and Dupree $7.3 $7.3 3132
    4 Superman Returns $3.5 $155.5 3765
    5 Devil Wears Prada $3.2 $76.3 2810

    The over for 'Little Man' looks good, while 'You, Me and Dupree' still looks to be a coin toss.

    I was pretty confident about the over on "Little Man" but "Dupree" barely came in below the estimate. I wish I could have put both movies in a parlay. After being wrong about the last two movies, it's nice to get back to being right.
