Whats up Doc (Sorry just a Bugs Bunny reference, I loved that show)
I just thought it would be a good idea to have a complete list of all of the movies. If this thread is going to stay open, people should get to pick all of the December BO movies. Anyway, they can always skip the ones they don't want to pick.
Anyway, I am just curious, which of the movies don't you think people have heard of. Maybe someone is kindof full of himself thinking that he knows what everyone wants to see or knows. Sorry if I have upset you but I just thought we should have a complete list if you are saying pick the December movies. Me bad.

Well, its your wish, go for it, I doubt anyone will really care. What I am wondering is why you don't post your predictions, Mr. I-Know-It-All?

In case you didn't notice, December is still 22 days away.  That's almost a month to the first movie.
Anyway, I have never been into picking BO, but with the addictive threads that you have started to set up regularly, I might just do it.
Goldie got the BO fever 8)
Plus remember as I told you before, Goldie doesn't jump when he is told, Goldie jumps IF AND WHEN he wants.

Whatever Lecter Again Mr. no it all, guesses wrong.
I will get back to you on this in maybe 22 days, or 30 or 10 or when & if I feel like it. Nighty Night Doc, Talk to you later.
22 days
Anyway, I think you have lots of movies to research cause as you said, there are lots of December movies you don't know about.
So Lecter, drop and give me 20. That will teach you not to research all ahead of time.

And where exactly did I say that I don't know about any movies?
I think the real question is, do YOU know about them?

If you don't remember you stated "You think people will predict opening weekends/totals for movies they haven't even heard of?"
Also, I know you set up sooooooooo many threads, you probably forgotten but you set up this one also.
I could see if this was the January to March period when the studios are releasing the dogs but these movies aren't those dogs.
So again Lecter, especially if you NEED to set up DUPLICATE threads why don't you make them complete. You thread starting manaic you.
Hey your a manaic, hearing the themesong from Flashdance. Go ahead, sing it along with me.

Hate to tell you but you are clueless. Look above, all I did was post the full December list.
See here is what I put - Hey Doc, Here is the full list. In case anyone wants to make estimates off of this list with ALL of the movies. (From Torrino's November / December thread. )
Lecter came back at me above and then I have only been responding.

Let him be, matatonio. He was/is/will be this way and nothing will change him. He is a hopeless case and I don't think we are the professional help that he needs anyway.

Hey Doc ( Whats up Doc, hehehehe. It's rabbit season hehehehe )
Any reason you failed to include Flight of the Phoenix starring Dennis Quaid on December 22, 2004?
Did you forget or is this one of the movies people won't know about to predict? In the US, this trailer has played enough that it is a known quantity.

I've edited the predictions in my original posting a bit.
Anyone up for new predictions now that November is nearing its end?
