Anyway you should know the rules by now. If not, just look up the first week's post. Though the prizes have been updated for 2nd and 3rd place.
Here's the list of movies from my local megaplex (* denotes a new release) Which incidentally the theater I use for this has 30 screens but oddly as "summer" movie season heats up there are fewer and fewer titles it seems like. I suppose because the new releases get so many screens allocated for them it forces out any smaller or older pictures sooner.
- 42
- After Earth
- Epic
- Fast & Furious 6
- Iron Man 3
- Mud
- Now You See Me

Answer the bonus question along with your picks in the comments. Scores will be updated on Sunday. Will Andrew Leon take over the #1 spot? Will Michael Offutt solidify his hold on 4th place and start to make a push for 3rd? Will I stop asking stupid rhetorical questions?

My box office predictions are:
1) The Internship at $21 million
2) Furious 6 at $20 million
3) The Purge at $15 million
Bonus: After Earth will make less than $10 million this weekend.
It's nice that Tony has chosen to give us a chance to catch up. He's got quite a lead. But I don't think I can catch Andrew.
I'm also going to go with The Internship at #1. The Purge looks more than stupid.
1. The Internship -- $22m
2. The Purge -- $20m
3. F&F6 -- $15m
It looks like After Earth, with its $100m budget (why are people still paying M. Night to make movies?), will be one of (if not THE) the biggest flops of the year. I'd say less than $10m, but Michael guessed that, so I'll say just more than $10m. Maybe, I'll get lucky.
While "The Purge" looks good, I'm guessing most people want to laugh right now.
1. The Internship - $25m
2. The Purge - $20m
3. Fast & Furious 6 - $15m
After Earth will make slightly less.
Fast and Furious..$21 mil
The Internship...$17 mil
The Hangover III... $12 mil
After Earth is being panned so badly it won't make ten mil.
Wait, is this rigged? Offutt wouldn't lie, would he?
"The Purge" looks incredible. I am willing to overlook the silly sci-fi premise that likely could not happen as an organic evolution of current society because it looks so great. I am even willing to overlook that Ethan Hawke is in it, as I might finally forgive him. (HE KNOWS WHAT HE DID.)
Anyway. I also think "The Internship" is going to flop.
1. The purge $20 mil
2. Fast & Furious $10 mil.
3. The Internship $9 mil.
I'll go "UNDER," on the bonus question.
