Box-Office Oracle: Feb. 15 – Feb. 17, 2008

Note: All of these predictions are for the normal three day weekend. What y'all do with your free Monday is your business. Jumper should be the clear winner. It's buzzy amonger the younger theater going crowd and it has no real rom-com competition. Winner!

Estimate: $24.8 million

Both B-Luv and I skipped this one. I think we made a wise choice. It's probably okay, but who wants to see an "okay" kids movie? Besides kids of course, I'm sure they do. Anyhow, this won't have the juice to land the top slot – but it also has the luxury of being the only applicant in the genre. For parents it's either this or parenting for a few more hours… and that's no choice at all.

Estimate: $22.5 million

The first one did quite will in a similar release date back in 2006. No, this doesn't have Tatum throughout but it does have a hot chick. That's got to count for $6800 per theater. GOTS TO!

Estimate: $16.8 million

Am I sad that this will beat a better romantic comedy in Definitely, Maybe? Yes, without a doubt. But that seems to be the way the tea leaves are blowing. Hudson and McConaughey trump Reynolds and three lovelies. So it goes.

Estimate: $10.0 million

They picked a pretty terrible title… and it's not a film you can easily market. Plus Reynolds is essentially unknown to the ladies unless they watched "Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place" back in the day. I know I did, but I don't think they did.

Estimate: $9.5 million

Welcome home indeed Roscoe, welcome home indeed. It's the classic fish out of water tale! Hold on, I'm getting the "pass" sign from the publicist. Let's just move on.

Estimate: $7.4 million

It dipped quite a bit in weekend two. Things will get a little healthier this weekend because no movie can bleed 67% on a continual basis (mathematically impossible – don't blame me). As for Miss Cyrus, have we really gotten the best of both worlds? Personally I'd like to see someone break this down for us.

Estimate: $4.6 million

The Academy is going to slap this one down. Wait for it.

Estimate: $3.6 million

Look guys, it's Valentine's Day and I'm the married sort. So I'm calling this a 24.5% drop and moving on.

Estimate: $3.3 million

This is the gamble. It could be There Will Be Blood in this slot. Could be 27 Dresses. But I like this Jessica Alba girl, I think she's going places.

Estimate: $3.1 million
