My Predictions

Will Space Chimps beat WallE this weekend?

Settled as No

Wall-E won by $2.5 million ... Wall-E earned $9.813 million and came in 6th place and Space Chimps earned $7.350 million and placed 7th at the North American Box Office.

Background:

I've been making fun of Space Chimps a bit lately, but boxofficemojo suggests that WallE in its FOURTH week will beat Space Chimps during its first weekend! Is it really THAT bad? Surely parents will drop their children off to see Space Chimps while they watch Dark Knight?

What do you think, can Space Chimps edge out the old decrepit robot?

Maybe I have low standards, but after watching the trailer Space Chimps looks pretty funny.
Why is everyone so down on this movie?

Wall-E did $18.8 million last weekend and Space Chimps is likely going to draw about $8.641 million, therefore, Wall-E would have to drop a whopping 54% and it'd still make $8.648 million, beating the chimps by $70k ... However, Wall-E has had these drop offs each weekend thus far: Week two -48.47% ... Week three -42.19% ... So according to this trend, it'll likely only drop around 40% this weekend, but take into account HUGE numbers from Batman, and let's say Wall-E loses a hefty 50% of it's crowd, it'd still bring in $9.4 million, easily beating the chimps.

My money is on Wall-E :-D

I doubt I'm going to be right, but I'm going with the monkeys purely based on the fact they are monkeys.
