Guys, the fact that you put this bit of "news" in the "brace yourselves"-thread speaks for itself. This is a box office prediction, which by its own author is described as "excessive" and introduced by the following words:
As a part-time cineaste, the idea of assessing the commercial prospects of films and ranking them like college football teams represents the height of vulgarity.
(...)
And yet we rank... order... dishonor. We reduce artistic achievement to a popularity contest, pitting Monet against Matisse, Bach against Brahms, Backdraft against Back to the Future III. It is trivial, tawdry, and wrong.
But it's April, and it's expected. Premiere's to blame; they made summer movie prognosticating glossy and fun.
