April 26th Movie Pick 'Ums

[Kingdom]

It won't be long before we hit the final segment of movie pick 'ums, which will be pretty big and lengthy(the final contest takes place over the entire summer).

This will be the last regular week of movie pick 'ums. I will begin setting up the final leg of events next week. Ironically, the potentially first big blockbuster also opens next weekend. Because of that, I will move things up quite early and, well, good luck then.

This week, strike3forums will be going for one 5 point shot. Thenflforums will also be going for their own. So if you post on both forums, ...only post in one thread. I.E. general, DK, etc. post here and lynch or whatever the **** posts over there. Otherwise, I will ignore your post. There will only be two 5 point amounts this week.


Predict the gross amount United 93 will make this weekend.
Right now, it opens up in 1,800 theatres.
You have till saturday at 11:59pm EST to guess. Closest wins.

17 million

$8-10 million, probably just by relatives of those lost on 9/11 or by the morbidly curious. I, for one, will NOT be watching it. I think it will do a disservice to those who gave their lives to save others.

I need an exact amount.

10 Million?

If estimates hold, director Paul Greengrass' 9/11 drama United 93 opened in second place, earning $11.6 million from just 1,795 theaters. Distributed by Universal Pictures, the film averaged $6,465 per location and was made for about $15 million. The studio will donate 10 percent of the first weekend's grosses to the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania

Winner.

Booyakashaw!

I actually saw the movie this weekend. I'm not going to lie. It hit me hard, and had me crying later that day like a baby. It's very emotional, but there isn't a single ounce of political propaganda like some were worried about.

I remember during the ESPY's years ago when they gave those four men an award, when they recounted the events that had happened and told about the lives of those men, I really broke down.
