FANTASTIC FOUR 2 comes out this weekend in 3957 theaters, and it's an interesting test of sequel-itis, because very few people really liked the original.
Still, by all accounts, it is better, it has a cool surfer dude (though the surfing penguins didn't do particularly well), and it doesn't have a lot of competition. It should make about 2-3 times what any other movie makes; look for it to do about $51.1 million.
The only other movie opening wide is NANCY DREW (2612 theaters), which seems to have a really limited audience of girls from maybe 8-13. Though the ad in the paper lists a lot of raves, look closely; there aren't a lot of major critics there. Figure $9.6 million.
DOA: DEAD OR ALIVE opens in 505 theaters. I'm glad they explain in the title what the title means, because the logical assumption would be "Dead on Arrival".
In odd films news, I just read that David Mamet is going to write and direct a movie on the world of mixed martial arts fighting. Seriously. Two hours of cursing and kicking...
