Empire’s Cryptic Canvas

Standard

In order to celebrate their 20th anniversary Empire Magazine have had, among many other things, a large canvas made consisting of 50 visual puns on their favorite films of the last twenty years. It’s good fun if you’re a huge film fan. There’s a lot of “facepalm!” answers to the visual cues. I’ve done one of these before (for M&M, I think it was).

25 right so far.

Predict the #1 film for the weekend of May 29 – June 1 2009.

The one who predicts closest to the total Friday to Sunday gross for the #1 film wins 4 points. Runner-up gains 2 points. Predicting within half a million earns 2 extra points.

Bonus questions:

1) Drag Me To Hell: Will Sam Raimi’s new horror movie end up at second place? Yes or no?

2) Terminator Salvation: Will McG’s new horror show drop over or under 65%? (Terminator 3 dropped 55%, Wolverine 69% in their second weeks)

Deadline is Wednesday May 27 at 11:59 pm (blog time).
