UPDATED! The Prices Are Alright: X's and b.O's Edition

X-Men: First Class hopes to magnetize the box office coinage this weekend from action fans disappointed by the lastest Pirates adventure. The previous two films were...not...well...received. So hopefully this attempt can revitalize this once mighty franchise.
Our predictions:

Richard: 68 million
Michael: 110
Marshall: 75
Chris: 95
Jaysun: 72

UPDATE!

Previous Scores and Rankings:
Jaysun: 930
Marshall: 919
Richard: 887
Chris: 849
Michael: 836
$55.1 Million. Let's look at  the old score board.

Richard: -26
Michael: -110
Marshall: -40
Chris: -80
Jaysun: -34

New Scores and Rankings:
Jaysun: 896
Marshall: 879
Richard: 861
Chris: 769
Michael: 726

Gap narrow between Marshall and Richard. Michael lost the same amount of points he estimated in millions. There is a special kind of irony in that. The movie opened on the same level as Inredible Hulk and Batman Begins. The two reboots that are its comparison. Next week we have Super 8, and Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer. The former Jaysun's most anticipated movie of the summer, the later Chris's most anticipated.

S7: Spectacular Summer Movie Spectacular 2: Reloaded Quickening Boogaloo Harder

It's summertime and you know what that means, gonna go out to the theater gonna watch some movie things, gonna make up guesses and hope our list is right...

Forsooth! The solstice hath (almost) ended! Summer is finally here and for the second year in a row where going to go over what's coming out and how we think it's going to do in the grand scheme of the ever important movie industry; week by week you'll get all the cheers and jeers we think are appropriate for a quarter where Marvel and DC will be tested as brand names,  3 huge sequels open practically on top of each other and 3D inundates most of the releases. You'll laugh! You won't cry! You'll laugh again when you hear some of my predictions! Listen and thrill for yourself! (TM)

Episode #49: Woo Country Lottery

This week, we're infinitely pleased to welcome the one and only Chris Sims, he of Comics Alliance and the prolific overlord of the Invincible Super Blog, as well as War Rocket Ajax podcast member and Awesome Hospital co-creator! Sit back and enjoy as we riff on the magic of wrestling, the science vs. morality conflict present in Pokemon and the many mysterious forms comics journalism can take. Will Sin Cara prosper on Smackdown? Can I justify the dark realities of EV training? Can the comics world survive in an age where people who have never read a Superman comic swear off from ever doing so en masse? The answers to at least 2 of those questions, plus many more I haven't interpreted lay within your potential to know with but one mere listen! The Sony Hacker Rap Video Revealed!

Also: trailer trash and the thrills and spills of me launching into at least one certifiable rant!

Be sure to check out some of the hilarious articles Chris has done:
One of my favorites from his majestic 'Great Comics that never happened' series!
The most emotionally overwrought World's Finest team-up ever!
Behold the greatness that is Rom!
The goldmine of comedy that is the annotated Anita Blake!
The startlingly accurate depiction of Civil War in 30 seconds!
