In what order will these movies open: Hellboy 2, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Meet Dave?

Why cant I think of questions like this? lol
I love it - Very nice

Thanks man :-D I wanted to mix it up and see how people like it ;-D Just adding a little twist to the weekly Movie Q's :-D

Wow, sooooo close these predictions :-D

Obviously I made this question TOO complicated :-/

You ever go to the movie websites lucidstates? I usually dont but havent seen any previews for these movies so went to each site. Journey2Earth and Hellboy2 have some pretty cool websites. I wish i could create a website like them. After checking I was a bit surprised the first Hellboy only did 23mill in its opening weekend. Brendan Fraser's Mummy movies did really good at the box office, which Journey2Earth seems to fit same kinda category.
So, my little research and reasoning make me believe Journey first, and a toss up for second and third, leaning towards Hellboy for second but the First Hellboy opening so low has me worried about that.
Let me know how far off am I to your opinions lucidstates.

Well, truthfully, I didn't consider the Mummy/Hellboy comparison, and that's an awesome point man! I don't go to their sites either, cept for WALL-E :-D But you're right, I should go to them.
My issue with Journey is that it's like you said, not really getting any airplay, so it's a relatively unknown commodity in the movie market right now, secondly, Hellboy 2 is a franchise film, which means that anyone into comics, or liked or even disliked the first Hellboy, already know this film is coming, so to me that gives it a little leg up, and as for that stupid Eddie Murphy movie, seems to me that it'll suffer the exact same fate as Mike Myers "Love Guru." So far, I'm seeing NOTHING positive for this alien film of his and I think it'll CRASH and BURN at the B.O.
Eddie has a history of either realllllllllly huge films, or total disasters! So I'm picking this one as the latter.
BUT, you do bring up an interesting point about Hellboy/Mummy and so I'm going to www.the-numbers.com right now.............. BRB

Okay, so the Mummy films so far average like $52 million opening, and Hellboy WILL NOT do even close, however, the Mummy's were 7 and 9 years ago, and I was in a friends house last week and the trailer for Journey came on and the girl literally says "Oh that's Branden Fraser? ... Yeah looks like his film, he always plays in these kinds of movies."
And I take that as a negative, HOWEVER, that is also a positive as these films usually do pretty well and when you got something that works, why change it? So yeah, I agree with you on that correlation. One additional thought of mine, and of course I'm no expert and this is all just opinion, which ain't worth much in real life, LOL, but I could see Hellboy 2 opening mid $20's, Meet Dave opening mid teens, and Journey opening around $30-$35 mil. So yeah, JttCotE #1, Hellboy 2 #2 and Meet Dave #3.
Now that I've made a totally off the cuff prediction, I'm going to www.HSX.com to see what the expected B.O. is for each of these films according to those players, brb.....

#1 ... $28.320 mil ... Hellboy 2
#2 ... $18.124 mil ... Meet Dave
#3 ... $16.651 mil ... Journey to the Center of the Earth

So as you can see, I AM WAYYYYY OFF based upon the much larger community of HSX players. But I think they're wrong! :-D

WOW now that is some insight and opinion. HSX currently has Journey2Earth coming in 3rd. That is a surprise to me. It might not be #1, but Meet Dave over Journey? Interesting.
Thats what makes these questions so fun. You can go and get estimates from other sites, use your own judgement and personal opinion, and still have no idea how to wager. I usually go with personal opinion which most of the time doesn't work out too well.

WOW, how ironic... I bet $242 on Hellboy2/JttCotE/MeetDave and it pays $666 ... LOL ... $666, I couldn't have picked that if I'd tried :-P

I MUST change my opinion now! I was betting that it'd be JttCotE/Hellboy2/MeetDave... But after going to www.superherohype.com, I can not resist Hellboy2! This film is gonna be BIG on that weekend! It looks really good, and I thought the original Hellboy was totally stupid! But this one looks fun and sooooo weird!!! :-D

So yeah.

Weekend Update:

#1 ... $35.884 million ... Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
#3 ... $20.580 million ... Journey to the Center of the Earth
#7 ..... $5.300 million ... Meet Dave

So the winning prediction was: Hellboy2/JttCotE/MeetDave
I've asked for settlement :-D
