#1 movie predicted correctly: 3 Weeks in a Row
This will win the down Oscar weekend. But it will be curtains after that. Just not a quality film.
Estimate: $20.5 million
2. Jumper
The odd thing is it’s almost as if only bad movies get released during this time of the year (that was sarcastic, don’t send hate mail). Except for In Bruges. That movie rocks and I suggest you check it out ahead of any of these.
Estimate: $13.3 million
Let’s have some fun with math. The budget was $90m even before marketing. It’s made $30m back, a little over half of which the studio gets. That means they need another $140m or so in box office to break even. Not going to happen. They need some DVD love to get out of this mess.
Estimate: $9.8 million
This, on the other hand, probably had a budget of about 85 cents (for the rain). Could teen dance movies become the new horror genre (a la one every week)? Details at 11pm.
Estimate: $9.2 million
5. Fool’s Gold
It did much better than I would have thought last weekend. What’s up America? Why you seeing below average films?
Estimate: $8.3 million
This is the romantic comedy you should be seeing. It’s got more depth and more laughs. Trust me, I wouldn’t steer you wrong.
Estimate: $5.1 million
There is a chance that U23d could slip in here but I haven’t heard stories about people buying out all the tickets yet (Hannah Montana style). As for ol’ Roscoe – he should feel lucky to even be here.
Estimate: $3.9 million
I haven’t seen it but it has to be terrible given how hard they’ve buried it. If only they could push it back past Iron Man and then make the trailer look Iron Man-ish. Then they’d be set.
Estimate: $3.1 million
If you see this then we are no longer brothers. Mark my words.
Estimate: $2.9 million
10. Juno
One more weekend little pregnant dynamo. Then we’re through with you forever… or until the DVD comes out.
Estimate: $2.8 million
