Box-Office Oracle: Apr. 18 – Apr. 20, 2008

Oddly enough I haven't seen this. But I've heard it's good. Plus I think people are starved for a comedy right now and Al Pacino wandering around getting random cell phone calls isn't going to cut it.

Estimate: $21.6 million

It's been too long since I've gotten the top slot correct. Two weeks in fact. Now, I could get beaten again – this here film has Jackie Chan and Jet Li. However, I think it's going to have a strong Friday night and then trail off as word gets out that it's a DVD (at best) effort. The problem is it's far more of a kid's film than an adult Kung Fu one.

Estimate: $19.5 million

I originally had this doing Vantage Point dollars but then I nudged it down a smidge. It's only getting 2k theaters which means it can't win the weekend. Thank God.

Estimate: $11.0 million

B-Luv mentioned the plot to this one was preposterous too. It makes you wonder how they can deliver something like five years of C.S.I. but can't manage one 90 minute murder mystery.

Estimate: $9.9 million

The only good thing to come out of this movie was the song "Time to Pretend" by MGMT.

Estimate: $6.5 million

I always think of Nimrod's Island when I hear this title. That's not an actual movie mind you; it's just hearing Nim makes me think of a Nimrod. Man, I really need to start getting Oracle sponsored, this stuff is gold I tell ya!

Estimate: $5.9 million

Oddly enough this film is way more logical than 88 Minutes. It's also a bit boring but at least they aren't just making stuff up a la Pacino and company.

Estimate: $5.8 million

Less than two weeks away from Iron Man. Eyes on the prize. Don't you give up on me now movie lovers!

Estimate: $3.2 million

If you see this chances are you will give up. So don't see it, even for money.

Estimate: $2.9 million

See? Who says we only talk about blockbusters? No one you know has see this and yet it gets equal time here at the bottom. Whadda country.

Estimate: $2.2 million
