#1 movie predicted correctly: 6 Weeks in a Row
No, it won’t be close. This bastard will hear a Who, and he will hear a Who to the tune of nearly $47m dollars. Lesson: Release your kiddie movie when nothing else is out.
Estimate: $46.8 million
2. 10,000 B.C.
This could have been so much worse. So I’m rewarding it with a 52% bleed, better than it would fare against decent movies. DOOMSDAY will hurt it a smidge.
Estimate: $17.2 million
I’m more bullish than most here because the kids need something to watch. No, not the Horton age kids. The other ones. The tweens. They’re gonna drink this milkshake up.
Estimate: $8.8 million
4. Doomsday
I think the title is in all caps on the poster. That’s annoying. It’s only in 1800 theatres so its range is limited.
Estimate: $6.3 million
I still can’t get over the fact that this is rated G. I may never get over it. Group therapy may be required.
Estimate: $6.2 million
It dropped 44% two weeks ago. Then 42%. Guess what I’m projecting? If you said “40%” you win this week’s no-prize.
Estimate: $4.2 million
7. The Bank Job
Today I woke up singing Rick Astley. Does that mean I’m losing it?
Estimate: $3.1 million
8. Semi-Pro
Somewhere in the depths of hell they are telling Ferrell he’s all PG-13 all the time from here on out. Who do you have to blame? Only yourself (if you haven’t seen this).
Estimate: $2.5 million
B-Luv has me geeked up for this HBO mini-series on John Adams. That’s right, we get down to John Adams.
Estimate: $2.1 million
Funny Games could reach up and nab this spot. But somehow I doubt it… that one looks unmarketable.
Estimate: $2.1 million
