Larry Carroll, MTV News writer: "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" ($54 million) "There's no question that the winner will be 'Fantastic Four,' even if it is a sequel that nobody was asking for. The Surfer will bring in plenty of silver, and even bad Marvel movies open big. So, if 'Ghost Rider' can open with $52 million, and the original, barely watchable 'F4' got $56, I'm going to split it down the middle and say that this one will make $54 million its opening weekend.
Hopefully that will be enough to pay for a decent-looking Galactus in the Silver Surfer spinoff flick." Darren Lynn Bousman, "Saw IV" director: "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" ($30 million) "Absolutely 'Fantastic Four.' I wasn't a big fan of the first one, I'm not gonna lie.
But everyone loves Silver Surfer, and the trailers actually look all right. I haven't read any reviews of it yet, but I'm a huge Michael Chiklis fan. If he's in it, it's gonna be OK.
Also, it's PG-13, so it's gonna have more of an audience than some of the other films. The first one did well, but it didn't live up to what it could have been. So I'm gonna say $30 million.
