Fearless, flawless box office predictions
I wonder what's going to be number one at the box office this weekend? You know, they should really just run the damn Twilight movie for two weeks and put it on DVD. EVERYONE who wants to see it is going to see it right away and then the audience is going to dry up faster than...there's just no good way to end that metaphor. Anyway, people are projecting more than $100 million this weekend, which won't happen. The midnight showings will set records, Friday will likely be a record, and then it will sharply drop as everyone who wants to see it will have seen it. I'm not looking forward to like 5 weeks of having to make poetry about Twilight, but them's the breaks. Let's get round one over with. Also, let's all agree not to call it the "Twilight Saga." It's not important enough to get a saga, it can only get a sag.
Here's how I see it (haiku style):
1.) Twilight: New Moon - $93 million
Vampire love is back
You women deserve better
It makes my eyes bleed.
2.) 2012 - $25 million
No plot. No story.
No characterization.
Better than Twilight.
3.) The Blind Side - $16 million
Oh, Sandra Bullock,
That's not a southern accent.
That's Foghorn Leghorn.
4.) A Christmas Carol - $15.5 million
What's next for Carrey?
Another Christmas movie?
Why not. No one cares.
5.) Planet 51 - $15 million
Barely heard of this
and I'm a huge movie nerd.
That doesn't bode well.
WILDCARD - Precious - $8.5 million
This is not a sprint
It's a marathon release
It will keep going.
That's it this week, gang. Have a good, restful weekend. I know I need one!
