: I am pretty good at predicting how much a movie will make in it's first weekend so here I go.
: Romance + $10 mil
~~ Okay.
: Comedy + 15 mil
~~ Fine.
: Shot of Ben and Jen - 10 Mil
: (That's being optomistic)
~~ Perhaps.
: Clever dialogue + 25 Mil
~~ Yeah but are people going to see this through the trailer? I would nudge this down slightly.
: Mention of Kevin Smith - 5 Mil
: (no disrespect, I came to that by figuring in the view askew faithful + 10 Mil and the same poor girls who have been dragged a few times to one of his fart knockin movies - 15 Mil)
~~ I completely disagree with this one. Because I don't think very many girls would turn down this movie because its got the same director name as a movie they may thought was stupid several years ago. In fact I doubt that adding Kevin's name to the film will do anything but draw those in who were a fan of him in the past but haven't thought of him lately. I would judge almost altogether remove the -15 million.
: Afflek - Wildcard
: (Usually this would be a + 10 Mil but i'm not sure as this will be billed as a Bennifer flick, unfairly I might add)
~~ I think it will be a positive thing, if only slightly. He comes off with a certain charm in the trailer. And its something you've never seen him do. At all. I think that alone will draw people.
: Cute little girl + 5 Mil
: (If it was a cute little boy it would be +15 Mil, due to the certain catholic priest patronage)
~~ Agreed
: Total $35 Million Dead Presidents.
~~ I think, judging by your criteria for this final "sum", that it is a bit low. And I hope it is indeed low, as I would like to see it make a killing.
