$87 million is my guess

I'm guessing $65 million

$57 million... I imagine that it could be higher, but I feel like the economic crunch is going to take the wind out of 'em. Good luck on your boards Kristin!

$93 million

$35 mil.

Speed Racer DUD. Dudes will not see this movie.

$35 Million - Indiana Jones is still around... (And so is Brooks, who posted the identical guess about 45 minutes before you did. Change your guess, if you'd like, or else you two will have to split whatever meager prize I unearth from my basement floor. -- David B.)

82 mil

Rats! $35 million had that 'feel' to it. Okay, I'll yield to $33 million....I'm a little worried about what might be under the basement floor however...

if baby mama can do 18 million then sex has to at least double that and then some. the theater here in los angeles has 5 midnight screenings... 4 of which are already sold out. all the friday and sat. screenings after 2pm are sold out. everything else is close to being sold out. it's really strange. so i'm guessing... 48 million.

$73 million... all my peers can't wait - and the male significant others are coming along - some begrudgingly, some not!

Price Is Right rules? Then I'll guess $1. (Very, very funny. And, just maybe, very, very clever. -- David B.)

$63 million

Wanted to say a quick two things before I place my bet. First, to Chris Collins -- thanks for the support!! Second, to my dad -- I love you so much I thought I'd take a few minutes from my otherwise hoarded bar prep time to partake in this, even if I can't win anything!
Okay, so while I'm completely biased since I adore the show soooo much and think it will do wonderfully, given that we're playing by "price is right" rules, I'd like to bet $1.00 please dad (to increase my chances of winning a non-existent prize).
If that's not a good enough bet, then I optimistically say $90 M. I just know it will be absof-ckinglutely fabulous!
(sorry daddy, I know it's corny but I had to write that...) (Kristin, sorry to say that you got beaten to the punch, by minutes, on the $1 trick, so you're down for $90 million. And for anyone else reading and wondering -- I'm certain her "abso..." phrase is a direct reference to a Mr. Big line of dialogue from the pilot. She knows this show cold, though others may not, and I don't want anyone getting the wrong impression. -- David B., or in this case, Dad)

$53 Million (Chris -- You're the winner! I'll contact you by email so you can choose and claim your prize! -- David B.)

I'll guess $49 million, but will not be one of those ticket buyers. Loved the show, but hate crowds and have to work the weekend anyway. One day next week I'll go and see if all the hype was worth it.

$47M
($1M for each year of my so-called life)

I'm guessing $111 million. Probably too high... In NYC they were asking guys on the street if they rather be shot or forced by their girl friends to see SATC. My favorite reply was by a guy who said he'd rather be taser gunned.

95 Million domestic

165 Million Worldwide (I'm going to assume you meant in the U.S. but just in case)

There's a ton of hype on this one for months and months.

Since "The City" is NYC, I'll guess $77 Million. (Those with an old transistor radio and a long memory can guess why.)

If I win, you can keep the "prize" and instead interview me for Fresh Air, in one of those "end of show" slots that the local stations always preempt for their pledge breaks.

$48 million

I guess $37 million. I also predict a lot of waiting for the DVD.

Let's go with $38 million.

$475 million--I don't want your prize. Hah! (Made me laugh! Hah right back! -- David B.)

My guess: 62 million domestic, this weekend.

98 million (You just made the deadline! Good luck. -- David B.)

You may have done this in the past (and if you have, please post a link to the story), but are sequels to a successful series mostly a bad idea?
Looking at a list of the top-rated scripted series of the past 25-30 years, have any sequels (if they were made) really worked.
And why was there no sequel to some of the best series ever--e.g., "MASH" ("AfterMASH" doesn't count)? Do really talented writers, producers, actors know they shouldn't mess with an artfully completed package?
My mind is enquiring... (Yes, I have done this topic before -- a my age, I've done EVERY topic before. Spinoffs work well, but sequels, as a rule, don't. I'll explore it anew on a slow day... and this summer will be full of them. Anything for a reader who signs as Kilgore T... Vonnegut is my hero, too. -- David B.)
