Box Office Predictions - Super Bowl Weekend Edition
February 1st, 2008 | 4:18 pm est |
The NFL’s showcase event inevitably takes a bite out of the box office, so expect a good showing for films aimed at women and teens. Meaning of course that the juggernaut that is Hannah Montana should pull off an upset bigger than if the Giants actually take down the Patriots. Although it’s only on a few hundred screens, Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert costs 15 dollars a ticket. This fact should help it to score off the charts when it comes to per screen average, so much so that it wins the weekend. Before the game, the new Jessica Alba horror film The Eye should pull in enough business for the number two spot. Rambo should hold onto enough of its audience from last week to slide into the third spot. Fourth and fifth places should go to a pair of best picture nominees - Juno and There Will Be Blood (which doubles its theater count to 1500).
How It Will Look On Monday:
1. Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert: 15 million
2. The Eye: 12 Million
3. Rambo: 9 Million
4. Juno: 8 Million
5. There Will Be Blood: 8 Million
