Forecast = to predict

Who came up with that definition?  As far as I know, HSX is the first and only place to apply "Whisper Number" to movie box office gross.  The name is used editorially as one author's forecast/prediction of weekend box office just as financial analysts make forecast/predictions on company earnings before they are reported.
