The numbers are in and we aren’t looking at any big discrepancies this weekend as Laremy and the readers are virtually sympatico on this weekend’s box office predictions as $700,000 is the largest separation when it comes to Laremy’s predictions and the reader aggregate.
At the top is That Awkward Moment, a film I tend to think you all may be undervaluing here, but now that I’ve learned the film is tracking at around $11.2 million, I might have to take that back.
The largest difference on the board is for newcomer Labor Day with Laremy going with a low $5 million and the readers predicting, on average, $5.7 million. Tracking pegs the film around $6m. Personally I’m just curious to see the CinemaScore on the film, but then again, I also expect the audience to be dominated by women, which I assume will like it much more than I did… which was not at all.
Finally, while it wasn’t on the board, one reader brought up the release of the sing-along version of Frozen hitting theaters this weekend, arriving in 2,057 of the 2,754 theaters the film is playing in. Tracking pegs it at $7 million. I know it wasn’t an official prediction this weekend, but care to take any guesses in the comments below?
