The Oracle got back to winning weekends with the help of a gal named Jodie Foster. It also helped that nothing even remotely entertaining was released. Whatever, I’ll take it.
#1 movie predicted correctly: One Week In A Row
I had it a little stronger than it finished, $14m seems to be the magic number in September. In other news, no one is heading to the movies. I just thank God you’re reading this.
Result: $14.0 million (My rank: #1, $3.4m off)
2. 3:10 to Yuma
As this and Woodcock finished with $9.1m I’m betting that when the actual numbers are released this will be in third place. I bet that originally, and I’m betting that now. I may have a gambling problem.
Result: $9.1 million (My rank: #3, $2.1m off)
3. Mr. Woodcock
Right now I’m at a friend’s house, and everyone is watching NFL football while I type away. Life lesson: don’t ever work in the movie industry. Also no one wanted to see Mr. Woodcock because it looked mostly horrible.
Result: $9.1 million (My rank: #2, $2.0m off)
I was brave enough to take this fourth and I prospered. I meant to see it this weekend so I could either bash or support it but the rest of my life got in the way. It is sad to me that there are less than a million dragon fiends in the country. That’s a bad sign for our future. I know if The Brave One had more dragons it would have been far better.
Result: $5.3 million (My rank: #4, $.7m off)
5. Superbad
Gimme a break. None of these films made any money! What chance did I have? Now I’m just getting bitter.
Result: $5.2 million (My rank: #6, $1.1m off)
6. Halloween
It made the $5m I had it at but Superbad kept on keepin’ on a little too much. Those crazy kids and their silly sex romps have foiled my plans once again.
Result: $5.0 million (My rank: #5, Dead On)
It looks like the lesser movies received a little bounce from the non Labor Day Weekend, we’re talking like 100,000 people or so.
Result: $4.1 million (My rank: #7, $1.2m off)
I’ve already forgotten the male leads name. That how uninspiring he is. I really hope he got a ton of money up front because he’s done with a capital D.
Result: $3.34 million (My rank: #9, $.7m off)
9. Rush Hour 3
How did this make a milli better than I projected? Stupid excel spreadsheet! Either that or all the Chan fans were biding their time until the theatres were empty.
Result: $3.32 million (My rank: #10, $1.0m off)
Hey, where is Shoot ‘Em Up? Oh, it’s not here. That’s sad. And by sad I do mean funny as hell. See you next week mi amigos…
Result: $2.6 million (My rank: Not Ranked)
