Indy doesn't deserve to take the top spot from Iron Man. it was good, but in a summer full of great movies so far it doesn't belong in the top 5. hopefully, marvel holds on and wins the summer. with IM and Hulk, marvel should post an impressive $450m domestic gross.

Who really cares if Indiana Jones makes more than Iron Man? Does it really make a difference? Besides, worldwide totals put Indiana Jones over Iron Man by about $160 million -- a few million domestic aint gonna do much for "bragging rights", for whatever they're worth.

The only compelling reason for rooting for a movie to succeed is because you want to see a sequel. I would say Iron Man has a much better chance of that happening than Indiana Jones does.

It's hard to say how accurate you are on your predictions, because it's first hard to know which ones we're talking about. If it's your initial thoughts, I think if you adjusted your first gut feeling to about 133% of what you think it will make, you would be very close on your numbers more than 50% of the time. Also, it's hard to evaluate how accurate these will be without final numbers, but if you keep saying you're never wrong, in 6 months or so, I'll do more definitive research.
I don't dislike you, chris, so please don't be offended. I think you're hilarious quite often. But I don't look at your predictions as anything I would bank on.

That was back in April I believe,. WHen the film came out and opened up I said it looked like it wouldnt do more than $132 million. I never said it would probably do $150 million. I said it was a possibility it could do $150 million but I stll didnt believe it would do that.
Overall I'd say my predictions were not too off for the most part.
