Weekend Boxoffice #9

Posted on 18:59 by pollard
Early this week, because of the holiday.

5-day weekends are extremely hard to predict, but I'll do my best.

DECK THE HALLS (3205 screens). Matthew Broderick is finally starting to look his age (87?) and when exactly was the last time Danny Devito made a funny movie? Still, it'll probably do a little family business. $21.7 for the 5 days.

DEJA VU (3168 screens). I'm not sure they've really figured out how to sell this, and its going to compete for the same audience as Bond, but they'll both probably do fine. $39.8 first 5 days.

TENACIOUS D (1919 screens). Hard to say, though I don't think it'll be too huge. $13.3 million.

THE FOUNTAIN (1472 screens). I've heard great things about this movie, and terrible things, and not much in-between. I think it'll get lost in the shuffle. $12.2 million.

My guess for the top 6 for Wednesday - Sunday:

HAPPY FEET $52.1 million
CASINO ROYALE $49.6 million
DEJA VU $39.8 million
DECK THE HELLS $21.7 million
TENACIOUS D $13.3 million
THE FOUNTAIN $12.2 million

I'm probably wrong. Tell me where, and make your own guesses.
