Box Office Predictions for 9/26/08 Weekend
September 23rd, 2008 by Laff at the Movies under Entertainment
Okay, I haven’t done this for several weeks… its been a very busy time, but…. here ya go…
My predictions of the winners and losers at the box office this weekend:
This week, 3 new movies hit theaters in Wide Release on Friday: “Eagle Eye”, “Miracle at St. Anna”, “Nights in Rodanthe”…
…while one of the movies: “Miracle at St. Anna” is likely to get the most Academy Award attention, and “Nights in Rodanthe” is the big date-movie this weekend, the action/thriller “Eagle Eye” will stack ‘em up at the box office this weekend!!!
I also think this is the weekend when “The Dark Knight” could get knocked out of the top 10…
My predictions:
1. “Eagle Eye” - $22 million
2. “Nights in Rodanthe” - $16 million
3. “Miracle at St. Anna” - $12 million
4. ”Burn After Reading” - $10.5 million
5. “Lakeview Terrace” - $10 million
6. “Igor” - $7 million
7. “My Best Friend’s Girl” - $5 million
8. “The Family That Preys” - $3.5 million
9. “Righteous Kill” - $3 million
10. “The Women” - $2 million
——–
11. “The Dark Knight” - $1.5 million
Compare my predicitions to:
Last Week’s Top 10 Weekend Box Office list 9/22/08 (studio estimates):
1. “Lakeview Terrace” - $15.60 million (1st week)
2. “Burn After Reading” - $11.29 million
3. “My Best Friend’s Girl” - $8.60 million (1st week)
4. “Igor” - $8.01 million (1st week)
5. “Righteous Kill” - $7.70 million
6. “The Family That Preys” - $7.50 million
7. “The Women” - $5.31 million
8. “Ghost Town” - $5.17 million (1st week)
