Which website is the most accurate Box Office predictor?

Is it Lee's Movie Info? Box office guru? Box office Mojo? Box office report? Or is it another that I haven't listed here? Any thoughts?

Box Office Mojo and Report are generally both pretty good, IMO. Sometimes Olympic's lines seem to be based on BO Report's projections.

Actually, the box office Mojo has THE BEST! PERIOD. But... they don't release their odds until midnight Thursday night... so you lose out on any great odds. But even Mojo can f-ck it up... BO Report has had shitty perdictions as of late... so try BOX OFFICE MOJO.

did i mention box office mojo? cause, uh, they're the best.

Forget Lee... he's a total retard.

I know. Box office Mojo has the best track record for the very limited time that I have been tracking them, however, they don't even release their predictions on Midnight Thursday anymore. The last couple of weeks, they have been releasing them late Friday morning, by which time most of the props are already off the board. I emailed him about that, and, he didn't even have the courtesy to respond.

He's been waiting until the offical screen counts, etc. come out, so his numbers are better and so he can do better in their "box office derby". He might have a slight edge on BO Report, but not by a whole lot, IMO, it seems like their numbers are usually pretty comparable, and sometimes I agrre more with BO Report's estimate more than Mojo's. Other times, of course, Mojo has better estimates.
