Oh snap! KIDS split the weekend.

Raven-Symone has had a pretty sorry movie career. This may be something we didn't consider when we decided to hold long her flick College Road Trip this weekend.

It was an odd title for a G rated slapstick bonanza made even more gonzo considering Martin Lawrence's track record of vulgarity.

But back to Raven for a moment. Her long lasting show "That's So Raven" and involvement with "The Cheetah Girls" apparently doesn't translate into auto-appeal for the highly unpredictable tween girl market. So College Road Trip stumbled out of the gate, dropping lower than predictions of 17 million. Earning only 14, we dropped the ball and some points on this one. I guess that MENSA caveman wasn't so dumb after all.

Post adjust is rather conflicting as well. With the G rating, it should suffer smaller drops than most fare. However, if it didn't really do all that well to begin with, are there really going to be people scrambling to get to it in weeks 2, 3, and 4? There is also Horton Hears A Who right on its tail. Considering we're not sure how to play this one, we've decided to let it go for now.

Personally, if I had to guess, I'd suggest the film will earn around 400k daily this week and find possibly as much as 6 million next weekend. That'd set it up at 22 and some change going into the next week. It's just not that exciting of a post-adjust in my opinion.

The other opener was the big dawg 10,000BC a film savagely attacked by critics and moviegoers alike! Still, money trickled in and while on Friday it looked like KIDS Fund would be missing both of the flicks, something magical happened as the weekend continued.

Or, Warner Brothers severely overestimated to save face.

Whatever the case, the dino-licious film brought in 35.7 million dollars. Pretty much right on the money with our expectations, so we did a good job with this one.

Better news than the few points it adjusted up is going to be the post-adjust story with this puppy. With almost universally bad word of mouth, 10,000BC will surely drop severely next weekend. Guesses vary, but I'd peg it at 60%+ which would virtually make it extinct by the time weekend number three even approaches.

Give the film just a hair over a million dollars a day this Mon-Thurs, and we're looking at (depending on how much it was overestimated) around 38 million going into the second weekend. With the huge expected drop, the film could find itself with a mere 15 million dollars to add to the tally. Things may balance out after that, but I wouldn't count on it. The post-adjust on this is a very easy short and pretty much never look back situation.

In other quick news:

**Spiderwick Chronicles delists tonight. Depending on the actuals, it'll say goodbye at around 62 dollars a share. While we didn't get the adjust right, I'm still pleased with the results.

**The 5th episode of the KIDS Fundcast should debut tomorrow. It'll be a combined episode so we can take the next weekend off from filming. So you'll learn all about Horton Hears a Who and Drillbit Taylor which come out this Friday and next respectively.

But for now, the current running KIDS Fund opener tally is: 2 called right. 2 called wrong.
