I’m pretty certain I’ll nail the top spot this time around. Only one new wide release in what is shaping up to be the worst weekend of the year. By far. In fact, it should be the worst weekend since September 2008 when a little film called Bangkok Dangerous took the crown with $7.78m. That’s not much money. Let’s break it down!
#1 movie predicted correctly: 0 Weeks In A Row
2. The American
And then there was everything else. Some people liked The American, some didn’t. I see a 49 percent dip and not much else to talk about.
Prediction: $6.747 million
3. Takers
Held up fairly well last weekend given the concerns over frontloading. Should do a number near a 44 percent bleed this weekend.
Prediction: $6.091 million
The number one Sly Stallone film in the country! Sorry. Just helping out the marketers.
Prediction: $4.467 million
Brad is in Toronto covering The Toronto International Film Festival. Lucky guy. Look for coverage of that action all weekend long.
Prediction: $3.855 million
7. Inception
I hope Inception never leaves the top ten. Until Avatar 2 comes out at least.
Prediction: $3.822 million
The Lastest Exorcism: 3-D (IMAX) should be in theaters around 2012.
Prediction: $3.139 million
10. Eat Pray Love
Who is the new Julia Roberts? And did you realize an actor from this film (but not for this film) has a shot at an Academy Award this February?
Prediction: $3.093 million
