Christmas Eve falling on Saturday throws a wrench into the box office, much like the day did back in 2005, but I’ll try predicting anyway. Because why not? Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Adventures of Tintin, We Bought a Zoo and War Horse cannot go ignored. The Darkest Hour, on the other hand, probably can. I’ve never actually heard of that movie. Read the rest of this entry →

We’re BAACKK.
I know I’ve dropped the ball in terms of keeping up with these, but with some free time and some interesting frames to track (the shit’s REALLY going to hit the fan next weekend), I thought it best to start predicting box office on a weekly basis again. This weekend gives us two high profile sequels in wide release (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Thrones Shadows and Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked), another high profile sequel in IMAX (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol), an expanding Jason Reitman movie (Young Adult), and a slew of uninteresting holdovers. Ready? I am. Let’s begin.

Ten years ago, audiences worldwide were introduced for the very first time to a young, bespectacled boy. Orphaned and living in a cupboard beneath the stairs in a house under the guardianship of his cruel aunt, uncle, and spoiled cousin, the story of Harry Potter began. Having already captured the imagination of millions of readers young and old, watching the Wizarding World of Harry Potter jump off the pages and onto the silver screen marked the dawn of a new adventure, one that taught a generation of children (and adults) what the value of friendship embodies, how the choices we make in life are the true determination of our character, and what it means to face death with dignity and acceptance.

This may be the most exciting box office frame in quite some time. It’s not often that we see two sequels battling against each other over one of the biggest weekends of the year, let alone sequels that could conceivably take in over 100 million each over their opening 5-day frames. The Hangover: Part II and Kung Fu Panda 2 come off of extremely well-received predecessors, yet it’s hard to tell how big they will actually be. Combined with Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides‘s sophomore frame, The Tree of Life‘s limited start, Midnight in Paris‘s expansion, and other holdovers (see: Bridesmaids), this is shaping up to be a stellar box office week.

Sorry for no weekend prediction posts over the last month (I hope the Filmgasm Summer Preview sufficed), but I’ll get back into the swing of things with the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie, On Stranger Tides. The month has been very solid so far, with Fast Five, Thor and Bridesmaids all striking a chord with audiences. Can Captain Jack continue the trend?
