Horton Hears a Who! is gonna be huge this weekend. There hasn't been a good kids' movie since Bee Movie, way back in November, and this one is worth the fuss.

My Call:  While Steve Carell predicted an opening weekend of $800 million (very Michael Scott of him), I'm coming in a little lower at $57.4 million.

Here's Why:  People of all ages love Jim Carrey and Carell, and every single Dr. Seuss movie that makes its way to the big screen puts up massive numbers.

Your Turn:  Think I'm wrong? Don't bet on it! Kids' movies are my specialty, as I am a giant kid myself. What do you think? Who is not gonna see this?
