Premise: This is the story of the Bauedelaires, three young orphans, Violet (Browning), Klaus (Aiken) and Sunny, looking for a new home, who are taken in by a series of odd relatives and other people, including Lemony Snicket, who narrates the film, and starting with the cunning and dastardly Count Olaf (Carrey), who hopes to snatch their inheritance from them. Violet is the oldest of the Baudelaires at 14, and is their brave and fast-thinking leader. The only boy is middle child Klaus, 12, who is intensely intelligent and obsessed with words. The youngest is infant Sunny, who speaks in a language only her siblings can understand, and she has a tendency to... bite.

Whats your prediction!![/b]

Opening- $42.0
Total- $168.0

Opening: $37.8
Total: $137.0

May be lost with other kid movies, though, it has all of December to reign before Fat Albert opens, which shouldn't be too much of a competition.

Carrey should bring in a bunch, as will the books themselves.

Opening - $47.5 million
Total - $175 million

I see no competition!

BJs prediction of wisdom 8)

Opening Wknd: 42m

Domestic Total: 215m

a little over a 5.0 multiplyer

8)

48.5m/197m

will do really good i think : 44/188 all the november animations should be sort of dying down by then so it should be plain sailing

I say...

53.2/186.5

I'm going to change my prediction a little bit. Not drastically, but make it a little less. I'm not sure how *big* Lemony Snicket's actually will be. Does anyone know how big the book series was? I'm not really aware.

Opening: $36.5 million
Total: $146.0 million

36/145

$67M/290M

The weekday numbers will be huge for the first two weeks, and it will increase in the third weekend. It's a lock for a mutliplier of 4.5 and it should be along the lines of 6.

Opening: 35m
Total: 207m
Multiplier: 5.91
Second weekend drop: 36%
Third weekend increase: +24%

Almost all late December releases have multiplier of great than 4, even the one with bad WOM. That's why an opening of 20M pretty much gaurantees 100M total, and an opening of 45M will get the film to 200M.

New prediction....

Opening: $43.4
Total: $169.0

Hopefully this will beat Polar Express, and sadly, Spongebob....

bump. It's close to being released.

Opening: $34.0 million
Total: $170.0 million

It's a tough one to predict for me, personally. I don't know. I don't really see the huge appeal on this one, but I don't see it with a low opening either. Plus, it'll have great legs with the holidays, like DP07 said.

This is destined to be a major hit. It occupies the slot of the successfull Lord of the Ring's films and is based on an immensly popular book series.

Opening: $47 million -- if and when there are sequels (yes, sequels as there are over 10 books so far), the next films should open higher
Total: $275 million (could go as high as $300 million+)

$55 million opening weekend,
$240 million total.

34 / 145

It sold like 25 million books,

My Prediction(revised) : 51/194

Wow! Only three people broke 50? I give it somewhere around 51 or 52 million, with aviator getting upper 30's. Maybe 38 or 39 even. But that's just me, and I have no clue what I'm talking about, so if you please excuse me, I am now sneaking back out or this forum.
