Cloverfield will be huge when available to rent and to buy. This movie will make plenty of money.

And yes, that avatar is ridiculously large.

I guarantee you that MTS will drop. If it doesn't at least drop out of the top 10 i will move to Canada, because all of my faith in America/the american movie audience/humanity will be gone. Rambo should drop pretty quick too. Expect Cloverfield, Rambo, and maybe 27 Dresses/Juno in the top 5 this next weekend. The Eye will be #1 and Strange Wilderness will also be in the top 5. Thats my guess.

The one, somewhat humiliating point in last weekend's box office totals is that Cloverfield was beaten by 27 Dresses, which it tromped in its opening weekend. Revenge of the chick flick!

Apparently, the drop off for Cloverfield after the first weekend was larger than expected, suggesting the fan base for this movie was heavily slanted towards us geeks who HAD to see it as soon as possible. If it drops severely again this week, we may be getting that DVD sooner than we thought. Nevertheless, a profitable movie for Paramount I'm sure. That will make a sequel inevitable; I just hope Abrams and Reeves are involved in it.

Some Thing

The reason 27 Dresses beat Cloverfield this weekend:

All the guys that dragged their girls to see Cloverfield last weekend got dragged to see 27 Dresses by those same girls this weekend. Wink

One of my friends on Facebook asked if Cloverfield was any good, and they also told me that it comes out in February or March in the UK. I think that collectively, here any worldwide, that Cloverfield will cap $100 million. And don't forget DVD sales.

Honestly it is a love or hate movie. I f you had not seen the movie yet the first weekend and you heard one or two ppl say that it was too short, they got sick, the monster was stupid looking...then you would not go see it.
I think that there was a huge push to see the first weekend because all of the marketing was base on one question, "what is it?" After the first weekenders went back to the watercoolers on Monday, they told their co-workers, "I still dont know what it is".

Honestly if I was not following the viral campaign I would have not seen the first weekend (don't like the crowds). And if I knew nothing about the movie except that some of my coworkers got dizzy/sick...I would not go...period.

Yikes.
