The streak is back in full effect now that nothing difficult will be seen for a couple months. In fact, that’s my new slogan, “Awesome on the easy calls.”
#1 movie predicted correctly: Two Weeks In A Row
During January and February all you need is a movie that doesn’t fully bite. That’s it, and you too can cash in.
Result: $24.0 million (My rank: #1, $5.6m off)
It was what I thought it was. Man, I am starving! I need to start eating before Oracle writing. Also, FYI, I’ve now added “happyness” to my spellcheck dictionary. Sick of seeing that little red squiggly line every time I write about this one.
Result: $13.0 million (My rank: #2, $.8m off)
Hey Now! This is a good news result, and I know B-Love must be glowing like a proud poppa. Now, if week two stays strong we’ll know the public and critical community has been united.
Result: $10.2 million (My rank: #6, $3.6m off)
I am shocked so many people fell for this story. Whether it was well done or not, I didn’t see anything remotely innovative in the trailer. Did you?
Result: $9.7 million (My rank: #8, $3.3m off)
5. Dreamgirls
I just wish I’d been at the meeting where they said “Hey, listen, if you can put like six more white people in we can get you 2,000 theaters.”
Result: $8.8 million (My rank: #4, $.8m off)
You did good movie goers, you did good. We hammered this bastard!
Result: $6.8 million (My rank: #3, $3.6m off)
I was so close to exact placement and dollars, so close. But really, what kind of sick parent takes the youngling to this and not Night at the Museum? That’s just ridin’ dirty.
Result: $6.6 million (My rank: #7, $.1m off)
This was hurt by a stronger box office at the top than I figured, but it’s still showing off better than average word of mouth. Now let’s get that Damon Oscar talk going and I’ll rest easier at night.
Result: $6.5 million (My rank: #5, $.2m off)
9. Rocky Balboa
I saw this in a few top ten lists. Really? I mean, it was a good film, but great is not a term I’d ever throw around near this one.
Result: $6.2 million (My rank: #9, $.4m off)
10. We Are Marshall
The double trouble! Correct placement, correct dollars, and we going to Sizzler!
Result: $5.1 million (My rank: #10, DEAD ON)
