That’s right. I’m officially predicting that not even Transporter: Refueled can hit 10M this weekend, in what is likely to be the slowest weekend at the box office, despite being a holiday weekend. The movies are either old or weak, … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: Nothing Will Make 10M.
This weekend, two films traded places, as War Room dramatically exceeded expectations, and We Are Your Friends bombed almost on a record breaking level.

Straight Outta Compton remained straight at the top, as all three new contenders were huge disappointments.
