Boxy: Megaweekend

Three openers should inject some much needed life into the fall box office. Megamind will open around fifty million and no one will remember it in two years. Due Date, which a few weeks ago seemed like it would have a bigger run, seems to have cooled due to average at best reviews. Don't expect Hangover-esque legs. And Tyler Perry's butchering of a classic play will open to about what his films usually open to and disappear just as fast as all his previous efforts. Seem a bit negative toward this trio? Well, sure, they'll kickstart theatre lines, but the terrible to okay reviews say all three better do their best before the wizard arrives in two weeks.

1. Megamind - $48m / $48m / $180m
2. Due Date - $36m / $36m / $110m
3. For Colored Girls - $22m / $22m / $60m
4. Saw 3D - $9m / $40.5m / $58m
5. Paranormal Activity 2 - $7m / $77m / $94m
6. Red - $6.5m / $69.5m / $88m
7. Jackass 3D - $4m / $109.5m / $120m
8. Hereafter - $3.5m / $28m / $36m
9. Secretariat - $3m / $50m / $58m
10. The Social Network - $2.5m / $84m / $100m
