Will Jacob Beat Edward's $69,637,740 by Monday?

I say undoubtedly. The second installment of the Twilight film series will hit theaters on Friday. I have no doubt fans and newcomers alike will come out in droves even though their pocket books aren't as full as they might have been last autumn. Just last year, myself and others were ogling at Daniel Craig's vengeful, gorgeous James Bond in "The Quantum of Solace." It topped the box office with $67,528,882 in ticket sales, though with lame villains and little "lovin'," it failed to live up to its predecessor's name.

With the new adult audience Stephanie Meyers has garnered for herself since the opening weekend of "Twilight," there's no reason to doubt the werewolf sequel won't do better in the box office. However, I have little faith in the content of the film being as sexy or as thrilling as what we saw last year. But just how much will it make? "2012" (it's been a while since our last decent all-out disaster film) came in at number one last weekend with $65,237,614. I'm going to say Jacob will take the weekend within +/- two million of $75,300,000. I hesitate because I don't think it can beat its teen rival, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," which came in at $77,835,727 on July 15.

Now the real question is, in a fight, who would kick the most ass: Jacob, Edward, Bond, or Harry? Feel free to respond!
