Box Office Predictions - McConaughey vs. Montana vs. Martin Edition
February 7th, 2008 | 5:15 pm est |
With fond memories of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and the fact that women haven’t had a film pitched at them this year since 27 Dresses, the Matthew McConaughey/Kate Hudson romantic action comedy Fool’s Gold should triumph this weekend. The Martin Lawrence vehicle Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins actually opens on more screens than Fool’s Gold, and could possibly take the box office crown. And if the Hannah Montana concert film can hold onto at least 60% of its audience from last weekend it could sneak into the top spot, but since Disney advertised that it would be in theaters for one week only that level of repeat business seems highly unlikely - unless 12 year olds suddenly get drivers licenses. The horror film The Eye will probably drop over 50% from last weekend, but that should still be enough to stay in the top 5. The final spot will most likely be the unstoppable box office powerhouse that is Juno.
How it will look on Monday:
Fool’s Gold: 18 Million
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins: 16 Million
Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert: 15 Million
The Eye: 6 Million
Juno: 5 Million
