Not sure man but your reasoning seems sound. I'm going to lay off though, I think I have more of an edge with world series of poker matchups. BOL.

yeah it will go over if now you see me can make 28 million in a weekend with basically b list stars the internship should make more than 18 million. I guess its gonna be interested if it will make more than the purge though i think it will since it will be in a 1000 more screens

1) Grown-ups 2 would be a sequel not a remake
2) You have the power of Google behind you(kind of). Go for it!

It's not at all simplistic to simply continually be making a gift of tricks that the rest could have been trying to sell. So we do understand we've got you to give thanks to for that. The entire explanations you made, the straightforward site menu, the relationships you can make it possible to instill - it's many remarkable, and it's aiding our son and us consider that the matter is cool, which is tremendously mandatory. Thank you for the whole lot! Thank you sharing these wonderful posts. In addition, an excellent travel and also medical insurance program can often eradicate those considerations that come with journeying abroad. Your medical emergency can rapidly become extremely expensive and that's guaranteed to quickly decide to put a financial stress on the family finances. Having in place the ideal travel insurance package deal prior to leaving is definitely worth the time and effort. Thanks

The line that I saw on The Internship is O/U 18 million for the first weekend. Grown Ups 2 I read was projected to take in 40 million the first weekend. I saw the first one, and you couldn't pay me $50 to make me sit through a re-make. So how does the Internship not go over 18 million? It probably won't be that good, but I've been waiting since 2005 Wedding Crashers to get Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson together again. I think it looks funny, and my gut feeling is that many people will go see it just because they liked Wedding Crashers so much.

I've never made a bet like this, but thinking about taking the over. Anyone have an opinion?

opening weekend = $18.1 million

You guys want Box Office projections/predictions....

Try this guy out at Box Office Mojo.

He completely nailed this past weekend, even predicting The Purge's #1 for the weekend.

As for his call on The Internship.. "Fox is expecting an opening in the mid-teen millions". Pretty damn close.
