I gotta agree with PopcornTreeCt. Ratatouille will definitely beat McClane, especially because its PIXAR first and foremost, and most parents will let their kids see a movie by that company.

Die Hard will definitely be number one

I predict about 50 million for Die Hard (Wed-Sun) and about 35-40 million for Ratty

It's doesn't work like that. For the weekend, it'll just be the box office take from Friday-Sunday for the weekly BO crown. Just because LFoDH opened on Wednesday doesn't mean you get to lump it in when comparing BO totals for the weekend. Anyway, it doesn't really mean all that much in the long run either way.

I know. I was just predicting my totals. I still believe Die Hard will be number one, even though Ratatouille is much better :/

I'll see Ratatouille in the theatres, but I'll just wait for the R-rated cut of Die Hard 4 on DVD.

Ratatouille should have a massive opening, and probably looong legs too. Transformers needs to make a ton next week since Mr. Potter follows after that.

I think so too. Die Hard already have a popularity out there and so does Bruce Willis. Business wise, a little cute Parisian rat won't hold up against anything like that.

I'm going to wait for the R-rated cut of Ratatouille before seeing an edited and censored version.

I think it will be a close race with Ratatouille coming out on top.

But Die Hard has also blown a bit of its weekend load on Wed and Thurs. Will there be enough repeat viewers of those to offset the shift?

Ratatouille dominates F-Su. DH will have a higher to-date through Sunday, however.

I thought for awhile Ratatouille wasn't going to do well, but everything seems to have fallen in place for it of late. The campaign really came together. I think it has the 3 day weekend easy.

Probably not, but 3000-4000 screen for two days lead can only take so many audiences which is probably only a fraction compared to the number of potential customer of the movie.

But the people that went to go see it on weekdays are the, um, die-hard Die Hard fans. They were guaranteed sales on the weekend already.

Well you got your point. But we don't know how many fans of those kind compared to mainstream moviegoers.

Per screen average wise I am sure Sicko will kick some ass.
Rat will not make more than 35 million this weekend.
