1) The Butler- 16M Weekend, 45M Weekend City Of Bones is tracking soft, and The Butler was a crowd pleaser last weekend. It is likely that a small drop will keep The Butler in 1st place again this weekend. 2) … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: What A Slow Weekend Ahead…
1) Lee Daniels’ The Butler- 8.3M Friday, 26M Weekend The Butler started off strong on Friday, and took a clear lead against four new releases.

1) Elysium- 30.4M Weekend, 30.4M Total (9,257 PSA) Oh, so boo-hoo. Elysium made “only” 30 million. Seriously, some entertainment journalists should be shot. How about that this is Matt Damon’s highest opening since The Bourne Ultimatum in 2007, and his … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Elysium’ Wins, ‘Blue Jasmine’ still strong
1) Elysium- 11.1M Friday, 30M Weekend, 30M Total Elysium took the box office by quiet storm on Friday, easily winning the day.

1) Elysium- 35M Weekend, 35M Total I think Elysium is going to win the weekend. This is basically just a gut instinct. I’ve seen people projecting 40M for Planes, and We’re The Millers is tracking really well too. Elysium has … Continue reading Box Office Projections: Elysium vs Planes. Who will win?
1) 2 Guns- 27.3M Weekend, 27.3M Total (9,045 PSA) For some reason, internet box office prognosticators are not excited about this opening. It’s the fifth highest opening for both Denzel and Wahlberg in their careers. I don’t understand how that’s … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: Denzel kills The Smurfs
1) 2 Guns- 9.8M Friday, 27.0M Weekend Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg can add another #1 opening to their name this weekend. 2 Guns should continue to perform moderately well after securing a B+ cinemascore. 2) The Wolverine- 6.4M Friday, … Continue reading ‘2 Guns’ leads Friday, ‘Smurfs 2’ bombs
1) 2 Guns- 35M Weekend, 35M Total Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg are both actors who can generally open a movie. Denzel’s last film, Flight, opened to 24.9M in November, and it was much less accessible than 2 Guns. A … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: Denzel and Wahlberg are gunning for #1

1) The Wolverine- 20.5M Friday, 55M Weekend Apparently, 55M is a weak opening, for a sequel to a poorly reviewed film despised by fans who saw it. I’d say the fact that The Wolverine opened to 55M shows the strength … Continue reading ‘The Wolverine’ is #1, but apparently whimpering
1) The Wolverine- 65M Weekend, 65M Total With almost no competition, the only thing The Wolverine has to battle is the fact that the first film didn’t have exceptional reviews.

Horror film The Conjuring has lived up to the buzz. It started off with 3.3M for Thursday late shows, which are counted in the impressive 16.3M Friday haul. The horror flick has actually managed to earn an A- cinemascore, rare … Continue reading ‘The Conjuring’ rockets to #1
Turbo opened early, getting a jump start on three new releases on Friday. It earned 5.8 million on Wednesday, narrowly beating Despicable Me 2 (which earned 5.6M). Despicable Me 2 seems to still be chugging strong, and it might put … Continue reading Turbo opens to 5.8M on Wednesday
