The Dark Knight blew open the record book with its $158.4 mil debut over the weekend, but if you think that having a surefire winner like Batman makes predicting the complete box office rankings a cinch, try again. Just one player in EW.com’s Summer Box Office Challenge got a perfect score last weekend, as it happens, and said player was none other than our old friend "thebige." So big ups to The Big E, who correctly called the entire top 10 in order!
Think you’ve got what it takes to be a big winner in our big box office game, too — and win free DVDs along the way? Do you foresee a big weekend for the freshman films Step Brothers and The X-Files: I Want to Believe? Well, we want to believe that you can just log on to the Challenge by 8 p.m. Eastern on Friday to register your pics, big guy/gal. In fact, we know you can.

I actually predicted TDK would make $158 million opening weekend…too bad I bombed pretty much everything else. Oh well, better luck next week.
I underestimate TDK, overestimated Hellboy II, and pretty much blew everything else last week. Eff.
I have a bad feeling that I will be the lone gunman at the theater to see The X-Files on Friday night.
X Files 2 picked the wrong week to debut. I would’ve given TDK at least a two week berth. Buzz for the flick hasn’t been that terribly positive in any event anyway.
