Just some brief thoughts...
Shanghai Noon was well-received in 2000. Opened to 19 million or so. It seems that Chan buddy comedies usually do very well, whereas his "solo" efforts tank. The sneaks of this from over a week ago did brisk business.
Ditto for "How to Lose a Guy..." Solid sneaks.
I think these lines are pretty accurate. Doesn't look like I'll be betting this time, either. I think we're into guesstimating right to the hundreds of thousands again.

19M for Shanghai Noon was for the 4 DAY Memorial Day weekend. The three day take was 15.61 which would also be somewhat inflated as it would not decrease on Sunday as much do to having Monday off.
Agree the lines are much more solid than last week. But information is always changing with movies so we can hope.

not as knowledgable as most regarding movies....but i would tend to think a jackie chan movie without a black co-star may not do very well...i agree that chris tucker may have had more to do with previous success than chan....and i doubt that owen wilson has anyone excited about rushing to the movies.....
If you forced me to bet right now I would take Shanghai Knights giving 4M over How to Lose. But that is almost meaningless this early in the week when the numbers are this close and both films have a large range which they could do.
WSEX should have at a minimum betting on three movies this week as they should also have Deliver Us From Eva. And Chicago is going wide for the first time so they could put a line on it too, but I doubt it.

both lines look too high. didn't see the original shanghai...was it any good? did audiences like it? jackie chan is a good international draw, but how did the tuxedo did. just as last weekend proved, I don't think there is enough $$ out there over the weekend for any movie to do over 20. how to lose a guy has a good premise and a good trailer...the key here is Kate Hudson...i'm not sold on her, so i would lean to the under. will want to see screen counts first though.
no sure things here however.
