Box Office Predictions (06-08th Sep) Results
And the results are in, Riddick took the weekend! With modest results, but a win is a win. I saw Riddick and my review is the post before this one and I wasn’t too bothered by it, fun film but nothing really special. And nothing else happened. Go watch some movies!
New Films
Riddick
Analysis:
Whilst a total of $18M this weekend from a Vin Diesel powered films seems low, so was the budget so it still will end up with a healthy profit. That does require the film to do well internationally and that it don’t drop anything below 50% next weekend.

My Prediction
- Riddick: -$26M
- The Butler: -$11M

- Instructions Not Included: -$9M

Riddick was a surprise. It ought to do well on in the international markets, though.

I don’t think Instructions Not Included is even playing in my area, good prediction. If it played in more theaters it could easily rake in some more dough.

Probably but if they don’t want your money then they don’t get your money 😀

Diesel has a pretty big following on his own and many like me wanted another Pitch Black, but sadly it was only close 😦

Which one has Judi Dench in it? That’s the ONLY reason I’d watch it 😀

Haha that’s Chronicles, which is funnily the one regarded as the worst 😀
If you watch it, make sure you get the directors cut because its actually not bad 😀

Hmmm, I won’t go out of my way to see it so only if it’s on Netflix. Just the idea of Dame Judi acting w/ Vin Diesel is amusing to me 😀

I’m a bit surprised Riddick didn’t get over $20 million. Nice post.

The Butler keeps chugging along. My guess is Riddick will slip below that and it will stay at No. 2 after this weekend and The Family and Insidious have poor showings.

Well that sounds like a wager to me 😀
I don’t know what wagers are…
