(Didn't do a top 10 cuz nothing else is worth guessing.)

I took a shot in the dark with Paris and Tree. A lot will depend on how many theatres they get and both are benefitting from a very dry art house year. Paris looks to be Woody's biggest grosser ever (not counting inflation, of course). WOW @ the reviews for X-Men. All the previous films - despite quality or lack of - were very frontloaded. But with the reviews this one's getting, the legs could be as terrific as Jennifer Lawrence's. Yes, I really need to stop talking about sexy legs.

Go box-office superstar, Rose Byrne! Insidious - Bridesmaids - X-Men: First Class! Is she a big star yet?
