Which movie will earn the most by the end of it's 4th week in release? "Hancock, Wanted, and Wall-E"

Settled as Hancock will earn more in 28 days.

$198.17 million ... Hancock
$188.88 million ... Wall-E
$125.88 million ... Wanted

Background:

Background: This question asks, which movie do you think will earn the most money in each of their respective first four full weeks in North American release? Or to put it another way, which OF THESE films after being in release for 28 days, will have the highest Box Office receipts? Example, let's say you think "Wall-E" will earn $161 million in four weeks (28 days of release), "Wanted" will earn $172 million in four weeks (28 days of release), and Hancock will earn $171 million in four weeks (28 days of release). Then you'd want to bet on "Wanted earns the most in 28 dayst." Does this make sense? Plain english would say, which movie will make the most money after 28 days in release?

Settlement details:As reported by www.the-numbers.com or another major mainstream news source.

Yay I finally enter this market ... I have $250 on Hancock, just so everyone knows... Man I could be soooo wrong, but I think Hancock will slightly edge Wall-E after each has been out for 4 weeks.
I see Hancock around like $180 - $190 million after four weeks and Wall-E around $173 - $178 million after four weeks and as for Wanted, I see it around like around $137 - $143 million after four weeks.
BUT I am noooo expert and I've been wrong several weeks in a row as for totals. lol

Just saw Hancock yesterday. I was impressed again by Will's acting. He can move from action to comedy to drama and back soooo easily. The "not your average super-hero" theme is very well done. And with the complete twist at the end, this movie will be taking in huge $$$ in 28 days.

Have I missed something? Hancock earned 107,321 in 5 days and Wall-E earned 128,132 in 10 days. I would have expected a $5k wager in this market to lose share but not 3,500 in less than an hour. Either I'm going to lose big or win big. I'm contemplating putting another 4k down on Hancock though. This isn't about what movie I liked best, the numbers speak for themselves...

I think the unknown quantity is how big will the dropoff be. Wall-E is a family movie which should be able to hold market share, while Hancock has big competition so its dropoff could be larger.

Well, the estimated returns for this weekend are in and here they are:

#2 ... $33.000 million ... Hancock ... Total: $165.034 million ... 12 days
#4 ... $18.509 million ... WALL-E .... Total: $162.772 million ... 17 days
#5 ... $11.568 million ... Wanted ..... Total: $112.045 million ... 17 days

This looks like it's gonna be good :-D Wall-E and Hancock are really close and both are holding well.

Official numbers are in and here is where these 3 films stand:

#1 ... $164,115,004 ... Hancock ... 12 days in release
#2 ... $163,055,900 ... Wall-E ...... 17 days in release
#3 ... $112,455,060 ... Wanted ..... 17 days in release

Wall-E fell 48.47% in its second weekend.
Hancock fell 48.76% in its second weekend.
Wanted fell 60.63% in its second weekend.

I think Wall-E and Hancock are gonna be close, though Hancock already has bunches more to start with.
