I'm tempted to say Elektra, but I'll go with a safer choice from March. I don't think either Hitch or Constantine will make it. Hitch will probably have decent legs, but I don't think it will open above 30. Meanwhile I think Constantine might open with over 30m, but it will need 40m to reach 100m given that it's the type to be frontloaded.

I think Robots will reach 100m, however, I'd say that Ring Two will do it first even though it opens later. The same goes for the Pacifier. Yeah, it might reach 100m, but it would take until April, and Ring Two will reach the mark in its second weekend (75m-80m opening).

Hitch will get it with ease, I think. The trailers are good, romcoms usually do well, Mendes and Smith seem like a good couple, Smith is a draw and it opens befre the Valentine's Day. D'uh. I expect Constantine to disappoint slightly.

Elektra won't come close to $100 million.

See if WHITE NOISE got good reviews and more theatres. It would pass $100,000,000. The movie rocks, and it was sold out tonight!

HITCH probably will tho.

Hitch for me too. :wink: A movie starring Kevin James and Will Smith just has to break $100 Mio.

I doubt it, the WoM seems horrendous, considering the film's twist ending.

Considering that it's a horror film in January, White Noise would have to open with at least 35m to reach 100m in total.

Twist ending for White Noise or Hitch?

My vote goes to Hitch. Not only does it star Will Smith, it also has the double threat of being a romantic comedy around Valentine's Day.


You talking about breaking 100 Million in 5 days or all together??? I say SW3 will have no problem breaking 100 Million if released on May 19th which is a Thursday and more after that weekend.. I think too many posters are heavily underestimating this last movie which really will be seen as the real EPISODE I, what everyone wanted and expected EPISODE I to be and wasn't..

Ya, the most obvious choice would be Hitch.

I think the best Coach Carter will do is Friday Night Lights/Barbershop numbers.

I don't think Elektra has much of any chance to do it. It will probably open around low to mid 20's and probably end up with Kill Bill like numbers.

The Pacifier looks like a good candidate to pass $100m but Hitch will do it first.

Constantine? Constantine? Are you guys serious? I don't expect this one to cross $70 million
