After a huge opening, AOTC is the clear choice to repeat as number one. Although there are critics that didn't like Episode II that much, there is no doubt in my mind that word of mouth among fans and non-fans is spreading like wild fire over how great this movie actually is. As some will return for the fourth of fifth time, others want to see what all the commotion is about. I am almost envious of those that will see it for the first time, since it will totally blow them away. I myself have seen it twice and I can't wait to see it again.

For the Friday to Sunday period, look for Attack of the Clones to rake in around $57 million and about $72 million for the long weekend. No matter what, AOTC will cruise past the $200 million mark by Monday night.

Spider-Man is holding up beyond belief. By the time the weekend rolls around, the film will be close to $300 million in total box office! Did anyone foresee this? In my summer movie column I said that I thought the movie could make over $300 million, but predicted $250 million. As it stands now, this movie looks to make over $400 million, blowing all comic book movies away (the closest is Batman with $251 million). Three day total: $30 million. Four day total: $38 million.

Of the three new movies coming out this weekend, don't be surprised to see Jennifer Lopez's film, Enough, in third place after AOTC and Spider-Man. I have a feeling that this movie is going to be pretty big. Although it has a plot similar to that of Julia Roberts' Sleeping With the Enemy, people will still flock to see it. Opening in 2,623 theaters, the movie will make around $20 million for the first three days and $25 million for the holiday weekend.

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron looks like a bore fest to me. If it were a better looking animated movie, I would say that it will come in at number three for the weekend. But I don't think that too many parents are willing to take their kids to this movie. On the other hand, there hasn't been a real kids movie in theaters in a while. Still, opening in 3,317 theaters, Spirit will make $18 million for the first three days and $23 million for the four day total.

The movie that I am looking forward to the most is Christopher Nolan's Insomnia. After last year's Memento, can you blame me? The writer/director this time only directs, but he has a fine cast this time around. Three Oscar winners (Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hillary Swank). The movie seems dark and sinister and with Williams playing a real bad guy, I can't wait to see it. Insomnia is already receiving rave reviews and even if it's just half of what Memento was, it is going to be a great flick. But even with the great reviews, I don't think too many people out there know about the movie. Opening in 2,610 theaters, Insomnia will make $15 million Friday to Sunday and $20 million for the four day holiday.
