This will be one of those weekends where any of this week's openers or last week's number one film could be #1. I'm using the basis that if Grindhouse bombed, why would Machete do well? Going the Distance has some fun ads, but most of the reviews aren't too kind. The American has okay reviews, but its the type of movie that needs good to great reviews to bring its target audience in. All should hit double digits, none will make more than $40m when all is said and done.
1. Going the Distance - $12m / $12m / $34m
2. Machete - $11m / $11m / $26m
3. Takers - $10.5m / $37.5m / $58m
4. The American - $10m / $13m / $33m
5. The Last Exorcism - $8m / $33m / $46m
6. The Expendables - $6m / $91.5m / $108m
7. Eat Pray Love - $5m / $68.5m / $82m
8. The Other Guys - $4m / $105.5m / $114m
9. Inception - $3.5m / $276m / $284m
10. Nanny McPhee Returns - $3m / $22m / $29m

And that's about it for the wide releases. I'd like to say I maintained all year that Toy Story 3 would be the year's highest grossing movie and that Iron Man 2 wouldn't perform much higher than the original. BOO YAH! I think Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 will probably surpass Iron Man 2 to be the year's second highest grossing movie. As for the rest of the fall releases, I'm not even certain of anything crossing $200m. But I'll save those predix for another blog post.
For Summer 2010 (out of the 42 films listed above):
3D Films - 7
Sequels/Remakes/Adaptations - 26
