Gee, I wonder what #1 should be? Should I test the Green lantern rule and see? (Especially since I haven’t listened yet and have no idea what was said about any of this.)
1) Avengers- duh. and I expect to be picking it #1 for next week too.
2) Think Like a Man- only pick from last week not in the ~$11 morass. Even if it drops big, the others drop lower.
3) Pirates!- kids movie. Those have legs (or in this case, peg legs.)
4) Hunger Games- continues trend of slow drops, as girlfriends go see this instead of a third screening of Avengers.
5) Lucky One- sorry! But ‘5 Year’ tanked. And this has appeal to the girlfriends who don’t go see Hunger Games again.
1) Avengers – Assemble! It is impossible for this not to be First this week and probably next
Third, Fourth, and Fifth are where the jockeying is going to be…
2) Think Like a Man –
3) Hunger Games – I think a lot of the girls are going to go see this again, while their boyfriends are at other movies
4) Pirates! Band of misfits – Unfortunately it’s going to drop…
5) 5-year Engagement – this should hold on to it’s fifth place spot.
Short and sweet… ditto Tony (from BSBO last night) and Andrew, even though he wasn’t there, but I hate to leave him out.
1. Avengers
2. Think Like A Man
3. Pirates
4. Hunger Games
5. Lucky One
My picks for the weekend of May 4 – 6, 2012:
1. Avengers – Duh
2. Think Like A Man
3. Hunger Games
4. Pirates
5. Lucky 1
I think that Hunger games can hold on to more of its 10.8 Mil in its -what, 6th week? than Pirates can hold onto of its 11.1 Mil in its first week. I figure the drop from first to second week is usually the biggest.
Same logic applies to the tussle between 5 Year Engagement and lucky 1.
Astonishingly, I haven’t dittoed anyone I know of, Though Jeff seems to have taken the ultimate safe route and moved the rest down one.
