Box-Office Oracle: May. 30 – Jun. 1, 2008
Hold the phone, we're taking Sex and the City to win it!
#1 movie predicted correctly: 5 Weeks in a Row
Yep, it's going to be hellsa close but my thought is that the ladies have put up with a month straight of fella-centric film. Indy, Iron Man, these were not films women were clamoring for. If my gut instinct is wrong get ready for a ton of whining come Sunday.
Estimate: $48.1 million
Me theory is a simple one: Everyone has seen this already. It made so much dough over the holiday weekend that it will take a 53.5% fall this weekend. Cause and effect style.
Estimate: $47.0 million
3. Iron Man
So THIS is the week Narnia gets passed. I knew it was coming up soon. Thanks tea leaves!
Estimate: $12.6 million
I don't blame anyone for not making time for this version given how boring the first one was… but maybe check it out on DVD? It really is a worthy children's film. Seriously. I wouldn't steer you wrong.
Estimate: $11.9 million
I have seen some low projections out there on this but you gotta ask yourself "When's the last time a horror movie was even out?" See? It's been quite awhile, hasn't it?
Estimate: $10.4 million
I just read Rick Reilly over at ESPN will be pulling down $3.4m a year. To write. About sports. I've decided I will write about movies for only half that!
Estimate: $4.8 million
So I was nine for nine last weekend until that stupid Visitor movie screwed me over. What a joke. If I ever see that movie in public I'm going to beat its face in.
Estimate: $1.6 million
8. Speed Racer
This will definitely go down as one of the biggest flops of all time. Does this put the Wachowski Brothers in jeopardy of not making the Hall of Fame?
Estimate: $1.5 million
9. Baby Mama
We're at the point in the countdown where four to five people will make the difference. So if you're one of those don't mess this up for me. I've got a streak going.
Estimate: $1.48 million
Somehow, somewhere, a fella will convince his lady friend to see this instead of that other option. We will know this man as "Alpha" and we will praise his splendor.
Estimate: $.7 million
