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.

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.

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.

Weekend Box Office Estimates & Total
1. Pirates of Caribbean 2 $62.2 $258.2
2. Little Man $21.7 $21.7
3. You, Me and Dupree $21.3 $21.3
4. Superman Returns $11.6 $163.7
5. Devil Wears Prada $10.4 $83.6
Easy win on the over $17 mil for 'Little Man' and looks like the under will squeeze in $22.5 mil and cash for 'You, Me and Dupree'.

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.
