Box-Office Oracle: Feb. 26 – Feb. 28, 2010

#1 movie predicted correctly: 2 Weeks In A Row
Word of mouth seems to be decent, so I can’t predict anything more than a 45 percent dip is going to transpire.
Prediction: $22.585 million
I think something like a The Hills Have Eyes opening will happen here. Remake, some nice reviews, and an early year release. Should be good enough for third place.
Prediction: $14.856 million
Trivia Time! It took Avatar a little over seven days to make $160m, the same amount all of Kevin Smith’s films have made, combined, over the course of history, at the box office. Impress your friends with that one.
Prediction: $11.59 million
I don’t want to get into spoilers here, but does Percy get the lightning back? Or was he the one stealing it to begin with? I haven’t seen it… enlighten me.
Prediction: $8.158 million
Plummeted 70 percent last weekend, yet still holds the theater count lead. Ahhh, contractual obligations! You know the theaters are loving that.
Prediction: $7.565 million
Lost in V-Day plunging was Wolfman also getting drilled, falling a nasty 68.6 percent.
Prediction: $4.434 million
Did you notice the three decimals places this time? I’m predicting all the way out to the thousands, all for you.

Okay, that’s sort of a lie. I’ve always predicted to the exact dollar, it’s just now the article features room for it. Huzzah!

Prediction: $3.851 million
I’ll ding it 25 percent and move on, while we’re all still lucid.
Prediction: $2.911 million
Continues to gain steam and theater counts. By the time Jeff Bridges wins his Academy Award next Sunday you’ll have a pretty decent shot of seeing this in a theater near you.
Prediction: $2.5 million

How say you? Feeling frisky enough to take Shutter Island to vanquish me? We’ve got an interesting, if low revenue, weekend on our hands.
