Box-Office Oracle: Oct. 12 – Oct. 14
COMMENTS
No way I get the top slot right this weekend... I've only got a one in three shot!
#1 movie predicted correctly: Zero weeks in a row
This is the craziest box office week I've seen in.. well, forever. Three movies within a million of each other? Now, in fairness it most likely won't end up that way. I'm taking Clooney over Joaquin, Wahlberg, and Tyler Perry because he's a bigger deal than all three. Combined.
Estimate: $13.9 million
This is not a very good movie. But the trailers make it look good. Thus, it will cut into Clooney's cash.
Estimate: $13.7 million
Why indeed? I'm not sure what to make of Tyler Perry. He clearly doesn't need critics, but why then should I care about him? I never see his movies, and I'm not going to pay on the off chance it will be horrible. So we're at an uneasy impasse.
Estimate: $13.1 million
Hey, here's the bright side! No way in hell The Game Plan wins this weekend. Whew, I feel so much better already.
Estimate: $10.8 million
Another not very good movie, but not nearly as bad as We Own the Night. It's just a tad bit melodramatic for my tastes. B-Luv liked it though. So if you like him better than me you should get in line for a ticket right frickin' now.
Estimate: $9.8 million
What's heartbreaking is that these brothers of Farrelly have been demoted back to around C list. I wouldn't want to be the guy rounding up financing for their next project. But I would like to be their agent, because he's probably already rich. Hopefully those two guys aren't the same guy or I'll end up really confused as to what I want to be.
Estimate: $6.7 million
7. The Kingdom
You will be missed Kingdom, you deserved far better than this cruel world had to offer you.
Estimate: $5.8 million
It's gaining a whole mess of theaters this weekend. Oddly enough that helps with the bottom line. I think it has something to do with multiplication.
Estimate: $3.4 million
They should have screened this one. We've seen so many awful horrors that I bet this would have looked tasty by comparison.
Estimate: $2.3 million
10. The Final Season
1000 theaters… no marketing… ah yes, it's the number ten slot special.
Estimate: $2.2 million

I don't see Michael Clayton breaking past the ten million barrier. I mean, the film cost around fifteen million, I figure they recollect their budget within a week or two out.
Own The Night is actually a damn fine film. That's me though, but I understand that the plot has been a done a dozen times. So, maybe 9.8. Y'know, I think 8.3 could be a fantastic estimate for it. I just don't see the film cracking past eight million because the marketing has been terrible.
Looks like Michael Clayton will struggle to hit ten million if it does. But how about Tyler Perry?? Talk about not needing marketing, the guy is a machine.
11.0?
Didn't expect that whatsoever. Then again, Tyler Perry had a monster hit with his film.
