Why no thread, yet? It's Wednesday morning and nobody has posted anything on Inglourious Basterds opening weekend.

My predictions:

Inglourious Basterds (High - 32, Low - 21)
Shorts (High - 13.5, Low - 7.5)
Post Grad (High - 7.5, Low - 2.5)
X-Games 3D (High - 2.5, Low - 0.5)

District 9 (Low - 35% drop, High - 51% drop)

I've got:

IB - 27m
Shorts - 12m
PG - 5.5m
XGames - don't care

District 9 - 45% drop

Should be another eventful weekend.

Inglourious Basterds will be lower and X Games 3-D will be higher. I don't know why, but every theatre around here is running X Games 3-D. Even Branson (an area with theatres that are behind the times) is installing REAL-D for it.

And even though there are a lot of ads out for Inglourious Basterds, I still can't see it opening to more than $20 million.

DHD predicts:
IB: High 20's
D9: $19-22 M

I'll extrapolate HSX numbers for the openers (this is OW):
IB: $25.28 M
Shorts: $10.53 M
Post Grad: $3.25 M
X-Games: $2.92 (for the week, I guess)

Apparently first numbers have IB with a $14m Friday. That could very well translate into a $30M+ weekend.

I doubt that theaters are installing digital projectors simply for X-Games 3D. Every theatre needs at least one digi projector to keep up with the times.

And I thought the same about Basterds, but based on what I've seen tonight, it'll have a bigger Friday then District 9. Maybe better weekend, but that depends on WOM.

DAMN! Inglourious Basterds is #106 right now with an 8.6 rating (8.3, 250 adjusted). I wonder if it'll hold in the top 250 somewhere. Meanwhile, District 9 is #33 right now with a 8.8 still (8.6, 250 adjusted).

Is it just me, or are people probably rating these flicks too high considering District 9 is higher than films like Citizen Kane, Taxi Driver, To Kill a Mockingbird, etc and BOTH D9 and IB are higher than Jaws, Die Hard, Cool Hand Luke, etc? I mean, these are some of the biggest cinematic achievements EVER and I just have a feeling these two will be mostly forgotten in the next couple of years.

Don't get me wrong, I liked District 9 very much on many different levels and I have a feeling IB will be my third favorite QT film (Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction make my top 25 films ever). But two of the top 100+ films ever? I don't know about that...

District 9 will for sure drop by the end of the year (IMDb rating always drop around the time a film hits DVD). Meanwhile, Inglourious Basterds's ratings should stay (due to the Tarantino fans and the fact that international audiences seem to like it more).

Early Sat number for IB is $12.5M, that's a great hold.

Bloody hell. Some excellent numbers, Potter should now get to 300, and TF2 should get to 400. District will get to 100, TTW should get to around 50-ish.

Only bad numbers are Post Grad (which we all saw coming), and Shorts; which is lower than most expected it to be.

I did a good job predicting Shorts and Post Grad (didn't see either breaking out). Also, Julie and Julia dropped only 25% and Ponyo dropped only 32%. Pretty good holds for those two.

Box Office Mojo Sunday estimates:

Top 5:
5 points - Basterds
4 points - District 9
3 points - GI Joe
2 points - Time Traveler's Wife
1 point - Julie & Julia

Shorts opened a #6, Post Grad at #10.


PTA:
5 points - My One and Only
4 points - Basterds
3 points - It Might Get Loud
2 points - District 9
1 point - Five Minutes of Heaven

Though, mind you, this might change tomorrow, because World's Greatest Dad has not reported yet.

Also, X Games 3-D had the lowest wide opening ever for a Disney movie. $800,000 in about 1,400 theatres.

Damn, I thought My One And Only would flop hard. I switched it for Five Minutes of Heaven, not the best move....

My One and Only was released by Freestyle (a bad company to release anything with) but it had a decent cast and director. Also, it opened at New York's Paris theatre and films usually open well there.

Go IMGL! $4 for 8 PTA thus far isn't too bad (7 if WGD gets in the top 3)! And a 7.1 rating to boot...
