Catching Up

I'VE BEEN OFF THE GRID A BIT IN THE LAST WEEK, and I apologize. Been a little busy with work and whatnot, but I'm back and ready for action. In my absence, I neglected to log my official prediction for last Friday's box office debuts. So you'll just have to believe that I was going to put The Incredible Hulk at $50 million (total take: $190 million) and The Happening at $30 million (total take: $93 million). In which case, since they brought in $54.5 and $30.5 million respectively, my accuracy would have been 91% and 98%.

I'm afraid you'll just have to believe me.

Anyway, I figure it's time to see how close my predictions of final box office take actually are. Am I genius or a total fool? Or something in between, something we might call a foolius? You decide!

Please don't hate me just because I'm awesome.
