Entertainment Weekly is predicting a big weekend for the Clones against the competition. Here's a clip:

Combine superheroes, light sabers, horses, murders, and J.Lo, and what do you get? Perhaps the most crowded movie weekend of the year.

Three big-studio films are set to premiere this Memorial Day weekend, but will any of them manage to loosen the stranglehold ''Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones'' and ''Spider-Man'' have on the top two slots? Don't bet on it.

Instead, the weekend will once again belong to the ''Clones.'' Three years ago, ''Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace,'' which also debuted the week before Memorial Day, IMPROVED 3 percent in its second weekend (granted, that was for a four-day weekend compared to a three-day one).

Since audiences seem to be responding to ''Attack of the Clones'' very positively (as seen by its strong midweek performance), expect ''Episode II'' to improve upon its $80 million three-day debut, bringing in another $85 million over the four-day holiday period -- boosting its total to around $225 million.

Meanwhile, given the extra weekend day, ''Spider-Man'' should see only a small dip from last weekend's $46 million take. Another $40 million seems in order for the No. 2 spot, easily pushing the red guy past the $300 million mark.
