March 19, 2001 11:50am ESTSANTA MONICA, Calif., August 2, 2000 -- Predicting this weekend's box office is enough to drive anyone a little "Nutty."

The PG-13-rated comedy sequel from Universal and Imagine Entertainment could drop 50 percent from last weekend's $42.5 million opening and still place first with around $21 million. Directed by Peter Segal, it stars Eddie Murphy, Janet Jackson and Larry Miller. Columbia's open
