Well since it is Easter some of these movies might take a bigger than normal fall, but still expect a big weekend from Box Office. Plenty of new movies this week that can do potentially well Hannah Montana, Observe and Report, and Dragonball Evolution. Also movies that are still surging in the box office right now. Fast & Furious and Monsters vs Aliens. It might be difficult to perdict this weekends box office.

I defiantly dont think Hannah Montana will do aswell as people may think, there is no hype around this movie at all. I think MvA coming out just before it will damage it a bit.

Hmm don't underestimate the little girl draw. Last time that this factor was underestimated was twilight. Hannah Montana is a huge draw. What is overestimated is the how much followers dragonball will have, I'm sure we all know that movie will bomb. The females will win this week.

1. Hannah Montana $44m
2. Fast & Furiuous $26m
3. MvA $22m
4. Observe & report $14m
5. Dragonball $9m

I agree with that statement, I dont think Hannah will do aswell as thought to be, and it will show that Miley is human.

Saying that the female draw is as big as the guy comic book draw (or anime series like Dragonball) is crazy. Besides Twilight and Hannah Montana Concert lets look at Jonas Brothers or High School Musical.

1. Hannah Montana $27m
2. Fast & Furious $24m
3. Observe & Report $21m
4. MvA $20m
5. Dragonball E. $11m

I agree with you Pink. Montana is a huge draw by herself I think it will do well, but easter sunday will hurt it a bit.

1. Hannah Montana 33.7
2. Fast & Furious 31.6
3. Monsters vs. Aliens 24.8
4. Observe & Report 21.4 (The Seth factor will push it over 20 in my mind.)
5. Dragonball Evolution 18.3 (I think there are plenty of old time fans who will sneak and watch it.)

1. Hannah Montana - 36.5m
2. Fast And The Furious - 23.9m
3. Monsters Vs. Aliens - 20.3m
4. Observe And Report - 12.3m
5. Dragonball: Evolution - 4.9m

Hmm... well yes Jonas Brothers did bomb, we agree there. But HSM 3 had over 40 million opening week. If thats bombing than these little girl movies set really high standards. besides Hannah/Miley is way bigger than those Jonas Brothers anyway.

HM isnt going to make as much as people may think. No way it tops the 40m opening weekend. it will do ok just because of its name

1. Hannah Montana - $31
2. Fast & Furious - $27
3. Observe & Report - $24
4. Monsters Vs. Alien - $21
5. Dragonball - $6
6. Knowing - $5

Wow i'm surprised by some of these predictions, how can someone even think that Hannah Montana wont be that huge. If HSM3 can get 40 million I defiantly think Hannah Montana can.

1. HM - $43m
2. F&F - $36m
3. O&R - $25m

Do you people really think that the same girl how had the number kids show, same person who had a successful 3d. That grossed over 53 million will really bomb this time around? I think not.

Well Hannah is big enough to cause such a big debate on here, so she will defiantly draw a big crowd at theaters.

1. 41 million hannah montana
2. 33 million fast and furious
3. 22 million observe and report
4. 20 million for MvA
5. 12 million dragonball

Interesting thoughts here, most are saying HM will rack in about 30-40 million range. I'm going to say the little girl factor will defiantly be in full force this weekend.

1. Hannah Montana - $54
2. Fast & Furious - $32
3. Monster Vs Aliens - $19
4. Observe & Report - $14
5. Dragonball Evolution - $8

Alot of school districts in my town are out Friday because of Good Friday, if this is the same nationwide then I think Hannah Montana could have a HUGE day. You know parents wont be able to say no to there little daughters to see this movie. It cheaper than paying for tickets for her concert.
TOP 5
1. Hannah Montana - $ 44.4
2. Fast & Furious 4 - $ 37.6
3. Observe & Report - $ 22.8
4. Monsters Vs. Aliens - $ 18.9
5. Dragonball Evolution - $ 10.2

Well recapping it looks like RiotOverThere was propably the closes, the movies he predicted were all atleast 2 million of what they grossed. DarkAngel also did well and happy.

Wow I'm sort of dissapointed in Hannah Montana after the huge Friday it had. I'm never afraid to admit when I'm wrong, so I admit I was wrong, no need to rub this one up.

Pink I told you hannah wouldn't do so great. She can kick ass on the tube but on the big screen with the big boys is out of her league.
