Box Office Predictions (7-9th June) Results
Well my new feature seems to be doing well, got a lot of likes and comments so I am happy. My actual predictions however could have been better but overall I was surprisingly close on the numbers. The Purge through me off this weekend with stellar numbers and The Internship very much like the film itself disappointed. So check out the final results this weekend and I’ll be back on Friday for the most anticipated release of Man of Steel.
Returning Films
Whilst not taking #1 Fast and Furious 6 did take a surprising second place with little chance of slowing down. Now You See Me did similar numbers and the rest dropped the average amount.

New Films
The Internship
Analysis:
My prediction of it taking the weekend was dead wrong with it slumping to fourth place behind The Purge, Fast and Furious 6 and Now You See Me. Clearly this film came 5 years too late but average to negative reviews don’t help either.

The Purge
Analysis:
Apparently people where really in the mood for some horror this weekend, perhaps in prep for a couple of weeks of the normal blockbuster summer, comedies, action and big budgets. This seems to be a shocker all round as it’s over double the tracking numbers. Anyway well done to The Purge for winning this weekend because unless something horrible happens next week will be Man of Steel controlled.

Absolutely shocked by the Purge’s success; after I watched the Internship on Friday (and loved it!) I thought for sure you had predicted correctly…doh!

Yeah that really did come out of nowhere. Hopefully I will be more accurate this coming weekend 😀

I was thinking the Purge should do good. The concept behind the movie is really a fascinating anarchistic theory, shame most of the reviews I’ve read said it did not really do much with it other than use it for a backdrop for a standard seige horror movie, but I will withhold full judgement until I see it.

Well it did fantastic numbers, it was tracking at $11M for the weekend and did way better!
Gonna check it out on DVD 😀

Ahah, looks like we’re both wrong. I predicted Fast & Furious 6 would retain the top spot. Well one can’t underestimate the power of horror flicks!

Well if The Purge didn’t hit a home run out of nowhere then your prediction would have been right 😀
