A classic rookie mistake out of me last weekend, I took a one quadrant film (I Am Number Four, young males) over a two quadrant film (Unknown, all males). It’s good to know that, even in my sixth year of Oracling, I can still lose a nice streak because of a bad call. This weekend? Good calls only!
Laremy predicted the #1 movie correctly 0 Weeks In A Row
This one really surprised me with a strong hold. Disney came through with some solid timing.
Prediction: $12.54 million
A production budget of $80m, which makes it our “the rent is too damn high” movie of the week.
Prediction: $10.7 million
Even though it didn’t perform particularly well it also is likely frontloaded. Shame, because I wanted to see what they did with the sequel. Bail us out international dollars!
Prediction: $10.12 million
6. Drive Angry
Rated R, and looking a lot like Shoot ‘Em Up. I don’t see it for another three hours, another bad sign.
Prediction: $9.16 million
The Academy Award wins won’t come early enough to boost it any higher, though it is gaining theaters once again.
Prediction: $7.98 million
You do wonder where they spent the $32m. Perhaps that’s just what comedies cost these days, bare minimum.
Prediction: $7.66 million
Is the new director’s cut this weekend? I want to make sure I skip the right thing.
Prediction: $6.35 million
10. The Roommate
Really, there shouldn’t even be a tenth slot this weekend, eh? Although, you could always mash up my ninth and tenth slots and end up with something like this.
Prediction: $1.85 million
How say you? It’s really anyone’s weekend, so be bold in your prognostications. Brad will be back on Sunday to wrap it up, and be sure to tune in to our mutual live Oscar diary on Sunday!
