Weekend 23 of the year 2011 opens with one of the most anticipated films of the summer that may not be a box office smash. Super 8 is a film that is hard for me to gauge. Much like many non-super hero "nerd" films, I personally hear so much about it from friends and on the internet that I become lost in thinking that it may perform well. I think Super 8 will open number one this weekend, but its overall performance will probably not be as high as most the openings from this summer.
Also debuting this weekend is the film Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer. I just wanted to make sure I mentioned it because it won't finish close to the top 5.
Here are the predictions:
1. Super 8 (N) -- $33.5 million
2. X-Men: First Class (LW 1) -- $27 million
3. The Hangover Part II (LW 2) -- $14 million
4. Kung Fu Panda 2 (LW 3) -- $13.5 million
5. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (LW 4) -- $9 million
And the answer to Thursday Trivia! That is, of course, The Dark Knight! 53.2% of its overall earnings came from the US -- so good job guys! It did so well domestically compared to internationally that it drops from the #3 all-time domestic to #7 on the international list, being jumped by the likes of Alice in Wonderland (bright and shiny) and Toy Story 3 (also bright and shiny).
