At this point I think it&#039;s fair to say it&#039;s been a rough few months. The last film to make $100m domestically was released almost two months ago, and even the films that make a few bucks, like Christmas Carol, have fairly obvious flaws. What are we left with for 2009? Hoping and praying that [...]]]></description>

#1 movie predicted correctly: 1 Week in a Row

1. A Christmas Carol
First off, an apology that I wasn&#039;t here to take my beating after This is It failed so spectacularly (at least domestically). I was doing a bit of traveling and so Brad had to fill in. I&#039;ll try not to let it happen again!

1. Michael Jackson&#039;s This is It
I won&#039;t act like I feel great about this prediction. But it&#039;s where I&#039;m at, $15k per theater, nearly 3,500 theaters domestically. You guys had predictions ranging from $30m &#8211; $50m last weekend, does Wednesday&#039;s $7.5m make you reconsider? I don&#039;t think [...]]]></description>

We should have seen this coming. Actually, alert commenters JAB, Andres and Topy did see it coming, taking Paranormal Activity to win the weekend. And win it did.

1. Saw VI
I&#039;m dinging it. I&#039;ve got to, too much competition in the form of Paranormal Activity. The last version of Saw opened at $30m, only a year ago, but I don&#039;t feel like the momentum is there for this one. And yes, after all the spreadsheets [...]]]></description>

#1 movie predicted correctly: 2 Weeks in a Row

1. Where the Wild Things Are
Spike Jonze doesn&#039;t seem to know who the film is for. Same deal with Warner Bros. The film is rated PG, which would lead you to believe it&#039;s for kids. But it&#039;s pretty scary, and more than a little depressing. Which is [...]]]></description>

#1 movie predicted correctly: 1 Week in a Row

1. Couples Retreat
It really should win going away, nothing is being released wide against it. All you need to know about this weekend is that Fame still has the most theaters of any film. Ouch. Perhaps the theaters have started running infomercials instead.
Estimate: $24.0 million

Looks like Laremy&#039;s predictions are back on track, at least at the top spot, as Zombieland had one hell of a Friday debut to the tune of $8.5 million according to Steve Mason&#039;s early Friday estimates. To top it off, should Mason&#039;s three-day prediction of $21.3 million [...]]]></description>

#1 movie predicted correctly: 0 Weeks in a Row

1. Zombieland
It has a lot going for it. First off, it has the second most theaters (after Fame).  It also has 1300 more theaters than any new release. It&#039;s got a nice trailer, and Sony has done a solid job promoting it. What could go wrong? [...]]]></description>

1. Fame
I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a good movie, but I do think it has the most broad based appeal. Step Up 2 The Streets opened at $7600 per theater. I only need this one to do $6000 to pull out the victory. That&#039;s half full theaters. Surely [...]]]></description>

Steve Mason has published early box-office estimates and while the number one film is no surprise, I must admit I am a bit shocked by one new openers in particular.

#1 movie predicted correctly: 1 Week in a Row

1. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
The kids are underserved in the current market, so Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs should cruise to an easy victory. G-Force was the last film in this demo to take a weekend, six weeks ago.
Estimate: $25.0 million
