Agree with Filmman. This might as well be a coin flip. Anywhere we can find the number of theaters they are playing in?
1. Red Lights
2. Union Square

Ice Age coming in at the low 40s omigod omigod omigod omigod omigod I’m might actually get points this week
Damn it. Estimates in at $46 million for Ice Age. Nikki Finke just made another enemy.
Also, Easy Money looks to be the easy winner for bonus #1. Trishna did pretty good, while Union Square isn’t in the top 40, so at least I’ll get a measly half point for that.
Damn….my hold is precarious, to say the least.
Yeah … only 31 more weeks like this and I’ll be all caught up with you.

Actually Rob, you and filmman just got a lot closer.
I’m not begrudging Rob, but why did he receive a 2-point bonus? He was over a million away from the actual–don’t you have to be within half a million? Or maybe it’s just too late for me to trying to think about numbers.
Dammit, you’re right, Slim. Read 6 instead of 5.
Sorry, Rob.
