The Dictator 8.5/10 Sacha Baron Cohen strikes gold again. His style translated well to a scripted movie. I just love his style of humor. It's really, really clever and gleefully offensive. It was cool seeing him with a supporting cast of known actors this time as well. Anna Farris was actually funny...

Macho Man!

I went to a theater I don't normally go and this was the first time I've ever seen a red band trailer in a theater. Anyways it lo...

Snow White will open higher than Prometheus?
Ted opens lower than Magic Mike?
Abe Lincoln barely crosses $50 M total?

Yes, no, and maybe.

The CinemaScore isn't really that important for Baron Cohen's work though, even Borat wasn't that well received by the average audience (Netflix customer star ratings are a good way to see how well-received things are by the average audience and Borat only has a 3.1 star rating). Slightly disappoint...

It really could go anyway, but the history shows I do really, really bad when I have the last pick in the first round.

1. Marvel's The Avengers - $52.5m Over 2. Battleship - $37.0m Under 3. What to Expect When You're Expecting - $18.5m Under 4. The Dictator - $16.8m Over 5. Dark Shadows – $14.5m Under 6. Think Like a Man - $3.4m Under 7. The Hunger Games – $3.0m Under 8. The Lucky One - $2.9m Over 9. The Best Exotic...

I think that is the the best way of doing it, even though my slate will be probably be horrible again

Chronicle 8/10 Great stuff. Very interesting take on the superhero genre and it was extremely entertaining with a surprisingly deep storyline . I liked the change in tone in the second half of the movie. It starts off fun and pretty light then it becomes really dark in the second half and that makes...

May 19th works for me.

Sounds good to me. I just finished finals today and am available to draft at anytime. Hopefully I fare better this go-round in the B-division.

75 might even be pushing it. I think it's going to drop hard this weekend. The so-so reception and the fact that it was front-loaded from the Burton fanboys is not encouraging for it's long-term box office haul.

20 is that a new low? lol

I'm with Boosh, Men In Black 3 is going to be that movie that finally overshadows The Avengers. Will Smith's return to the big screen and a popular series should do the trick.

Ooo, I think taking The Avengers with the 2nd pick is kind of risky... ahhhahahahahahahahahaha! NOBODY thought The Avengers would perform like it has been. That's completely true, when I took it I was figuring for about 300-350 mil total. I could not be happier with The Avengers results and I hope ...
