Box-Office Oracle: Jul. 27 – Jul. 29

This will get me back on top very easily. But it’s hard to predict a movie adaptation based upon a show that’s been around 20 years because there’s never been such an animal. This, the variance on this could be up to ten million dollars either way. So don’t blame me on Sunday, I’m warning you now.

Estimate: $43.5 million

Look for a steep decline as the American public figures out they’ve been swindled by Sandler again.

Estimate: $18.2 million

Who has read the seventh book? Not me. I didn’t want any spoilers to ruin my movie going experience in 2009.

Estimate: $16.8 million

Based on solid word of mouth and strength of reviews this film will stick around this weekend. Hey, I’m as shocked as you.

Estimate: $16.2 million

I have some reservations. Hardy har! That will be in every review in the world. But really, a romantic comedy without anything resembling a new hook will flail around before dying a horrible box office death.

Estimate: $10.4 million

If Bay would just come out and say he meant this as a slapstick comedy the whole time I would be much more receptive to him killing my childhood.

Estimate: $10.2 million

It will finish in sixth, but in a very solid manner. I mean it will really finish sixth, with nothing near or around it. What I’m saying here is that they’ve got sixth wrapped up tight.

Estimate: $6.5 million

I thought up the title for the next sequel; Dying in a Very Difficult Manner. Whatcha think?

Estimate: $3.9 million

Does LL’s (not me) arrest help the movie’s box office? And if so, isn’t she then the most dedicated actress in the field? I mean not just anyone would face a year in jail just to get a little film some pub. That’s effort.

Estimate: $3.2 million

I’m pissed to even have to talk about this one. I mean, a golf movie aimed at the African American audience? The tagline is “This summer it’s the street versus the elite.” Um, no. This summer it’s tenth place versus not even making the top ten. Sheesh.

Estimate: $2.1 million
