Back Seat Box Office #6

Tony, Jonathan, and Andrew are back for another week of box office prognostication.

You can still donate to Virtual SausageFest until October 31.

Before we can get down to business this week there is an airing of secrets and grievances. Andrew is slowly going mad from hearing how poorly he speaks, Tony takes joy crushing his players and Jonathon feels wronged by his co-hosts.

Tony breaks his slump by nailing #3 thru #5 and walking away with 60%. While Jonathan and Andrew only pick up 40% as Secretariat comes up short.

After marveling at Paranormal Activity 2’s success and pondering if the Saw franchise has any life left in it we get down to business and make our picks for this weekend.

Tony and Andrew have nothing to argue about this week as they make identical picks:

  1. Paranormal Activity 2
  2. Saw 3-D
  3. Jackass 3-D
  4. Red
  5. Hereafter

Jonathan brings his ‘A’ game this week and feels that Red will hold steady while Knoxville et al go plunging past:

  1. Paranormal Activity 2
  2. Saw 3-D
  3. Red
  4. Jackass 3-D
  5. Hereafter

Will this be the week we finally break through the 60% barrier?!?

Back Seat Box Office #5

Jonathan, of The Way of the Game fame, and Andrew, Archer Enthusiast, are back this week talking Box Office with Tony.

Tony doesn’t want to talk about last weekend’s results but we talk about it anyway. Tony’s bet that Red would debut at #1 did not pay off and he only got 20% right. Meanwhile, Andrew and Jonathan’s faith in Jackass 3-D was well founded and carried them to a 60% weekend.

Andrew just saw Red and his initial thoughts on the movie leads to us talking about Helen Mirren. We end up going somewhere that felt natural at the time but, in retrospect, might be a bit weird.

After lengthy pondering Tony decides to give Jackass more credit this week and that Mark Zuckerberg has more staying power then Secretariat:

  1. Jackass 3-D
  2. Paranormal Activity 2
  3. Red
  4. Hereafter
  5. The Social Network

Andrew decides to put his faith into Matt Damon, Clint Eastwood and the draw of a holiday sequel:

  1. Paranormal Activity 2
  2. Jackass 3-D
  3. Hereafter
  4. Red
  5. Secretariat

While Andrew and Tony grapple with numbers and projections, Jonathan decides to stick with his gut:

  1. Jackass 3-D
  2. Paranormal Activity 2
  3. Red
  4. Hereafter
  5. Secretariat

Whose got it right this week?!?
