Posted June 8, 200619 yr from imdb: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/Cars_image.JPG One online oddsmaker is predicting that Disney/Pixar's Cars will earn more than $77 million this weekend. In order to win on the Curaçaon-based Pinnacle Sports website, winners will have to bet that it will make less than that amount. Another website, BetUS.com, is not quite so extravagant in its prediction, forecasting a take of more than $41.5 million for the three-day opening. Meanwhile, early reviews of the film are not encouraging. Variety comments, "With Cars, Pixar's enviable run of creative triumphs comes to a skidding stop." The Village Voice says that the movie moves at "a turgid pace, with all the traction of a boxcar going uphill in molasses." David Ansen in Newsweek was somewhat kinder, writing, "Cars inspires more admiration than elation. It dazzles even as it disappoints." On the other hand, Richard Corliss in Time pronounces Cars, "the first great movie of the summer so how much do you think its gonna do?
June 10, 200619 yr im going for $55-60 million range based on the fact its made only $19.5 million in its first day, which is quite weak for a movie that was expected to be one of the biggest this year
June 11, 200619 yr From Yahoo: "Cars" races to first place at box office Sunday June 11 12:31 PM ET "Cars," the cinematic tale of a talking hot rod named Lightning McQueen, sped to first place at the North American box office, bringing in $62.8 million during its opening weekend, according to studio estimates on Sunday. The Friday-to-Sunday gross was the third-biggest take for the Walt Disney Co. and Pixar Animation Studios team. "Cars," featuring the voices of Owen Wilson, Paul Newman and Helen Hunt, is the seventh Disney-Pixar film and its first collaboration since Disney acquired Pixar in January for $7.4 billion. The film's opening finished behind "The Incredibles" at $70.5 million and "Finding Nemo" at $70.3 million. "Finding Nemo" is the highest-grossing Disney-Pixar film ever, having reeled in more than $865 million in worldwide box office sales. Just over my predictions

June 21, 200619 yr I'm going to see this with my mates when it comes out. It's for 5 year olds but we don't care :lol: As for how much it will take, I have no idea. I assume it'll be quite a lot, but not as substantial as the other Pixar films.
