2008 Box Office Prediction Quiz

Indians Jones = while not bad in and of itself, it certainly was a let down for me.

The Happening = was not expecting this to be M.N.'s best film, but certainly the excitement I had for him entering the "R-rating" realm was deflated.

The Strangers = again was not expecting anything outstanding so it really sucks when one's mediocre hopes get shot down.

I guess I was just so let down by the first two that it seems like it looks a dismal Summer, I hope the D.K. blows me away.

Well, apparently anyone who didn't have The Dark Knight as a whole mess of answers to this quiz isn't going to do very well.

Yo, 7th, I know you're super busy, but what happened with this? Who won? I know I didn't "officially participate" but I did post the Top 5 grossing films of the summer correctly in my post last page, albeit in the wrong order and "grossly" underestimating The Dark Knight's power.

Yeah sorry, I was actually going to try and finish this soon. Will try to do it this weekend. Sorry to those who played and I never posted the results. We kind of already know, but it is nice to have a comparision and the info right in front of us. So barring any family issues I will get it done.

Thanks for reminding me also.
