I reclaimed my streak once the Hall Pass actuals came in, solid sauce there. This looks like a fairly easy call at the top, but there’s some drama in the middle — let’s break this weekend down!
Laremy predicted the #1 movie correctly 1 Week In A Row
A dynamic little film, though probably hurt by Inception, that definitely deserves an audience. Blunt and Damon are quite good, and the concepts are solid. So just under $10k per theater feels reasonable.
Prediction: $26.13 million
I’m expecting a 25 percent jump due to the Best Picture win. I can’t go higher, because I think much of the intended audience has already partaken of this product.
Prediction: $10.38 million
5. Unknown
For the record, I don’t have Take Me Home Tonight in my top ten. I do have it my top eleven if you’d like to predict that many slots.
Prediction: $6.91 million
$61m worldwide on a production budget of $60m. Not great.
Prediction: $6.45 million
7. Beastly
The targeted demographic is probably similar to Remember Me, and we all remember how that one did.
Prediction: $6.27 million
8. Hall Pass
The holdover history of comedy opening around $13m isn’t great.
Prediction: $6.09 million
I’ve heard there’s a third version coming out where they just send people into the audience to rob you.
Prediction: $5.63 million
10. Just Go With It
$105m worldwide, but that $80m production budget is still an issue.
Prediction: $5.58 million
How say you? Want to take a cheeky alternative at the top? Have I overrated the reach of Adjustment Bureau? And where do you stand on Beastly and Take Me Home Tonight? Predict away, I’ll be checking in and Brad will be here on Sunday to wrap it up nice and neat.
