well... you MIGHT get Despicable Me ($70 million) or Eclipse ($305 million). That's a big might though, lol. I really don't think you'll get last though.

Nice! Missed that.

Question #7 was remarkably close, although not technically finished. The Expendables just has to have a pretty big drop to beat out Iron Man 2, which I'd say is pretty possible.

#17: Which will have the biggest 2nd weekend drop - Iron Man 2 (-59.4%), Robin Hood (-48.0%), Prince of Persia (-53.4%), The A-Team (-43.9%), The Expendables, or The Last Airbender (-58.7%)?

I hope it'll be Iron Man 2. Although, Rambo dropped 61%.

And #18 will be answered by the end of the weekend. Can Inception beat Shrek Forever After's drop (38.9%)?? Or will there be a surprise light drop by the Sorcerer's Apprentice?

Final results can be finished in a couple of weeks to make sure where some of the movies' final totals will land. Some ranks are riding on those final millions!!

I think I'll be the last one. I wasn't very good with the questions, but I don't think I got a single gross prediction right. :oops: :oops:

Oh I definitely agree, I just can't tell if Inception will or not.
