The fact that Sex and the City is on there infuriates me.
 
ComingSoon's predictions:

Bedtime Stories: $45 to 48 million over the four-day weekend (roughly $11 million on Christmas Day); with very few strong movies for families over the next month, this has a strong chance of becoming one of Sandler's biggest hits, grossing as much as $200 million.

Marley & Me: $25 to 28 million over the four-day weekend ($6 to 7 million on Christmas Day) and it should generate enough long-term interest to end up with $80 to 85 million total.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: $19 to 22 million over the four-day weekend with $4 to 5 million on Christmas Day, on its way to $65 to 70 million total (more if it starts winning some of the awards it's up for).

Valkyrie: $16 to 18 million over the four-day holiday weekend with 4 to 5 million on Christmas Day and it probably will be able to bring in roughly $65 to 70 million in total business.

The Spirit: $13 to 15 million over the three-day holiday weekend with $4 to 5 million of that on Christmas Day; It should end up with roughly $30 million total, maybe slightly more.
