This does include six films that have a real shot at earning $100 million or more at the box office, and three of those have a shot at $200 million. Joe: Retaliation, but that still leaves just twelve films opening wide over the five weekends in June. There are two films that were supposed to open wide this month that are no longer doing so, although we did have one film moved up to replace G.I. Unfortunately, the month has ended on a low note and The Avengers is shedding theaters, so new releases will be really important for June's chances. The good news? The Avengers was a record-breaking hit and it managed to compensate for every miss of the month and May of 2012 was just as strong as May of 2011. Nearly every film missed expectations, sometimes by massive levels. Meanwhile, whoever comes the closest to predicting the film's opening 3-day weekend box office (Friday to Sunday), without going under, will also win a copy of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island on Blu-rayĮntries must be received by 10 a.m., Pacific Time on Friday to be eligible, so don't delay! In the meantime, check out the new Journey 2 App.Īs May ends and we look forward to June, we have some good news and some bad news to report from last month. Whoever comes the closest to predicting the film's opening 3-day weekend box office (Friday to Sunday), without going over, will win a copy of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island on Blu-ray In order to win, one must simply predict the opening weekend box office number for Rock of Ages. Regardless if I'm right, it is the target film for this week's box office prediction contest. I think Rock of Ages will earn better reviews and will come out on top by a narrow margin. It should be another very close race for top spot on the box office next weekend with Rock of Ages and That's My Boy having about equal chances of earning first place. It also pulled in $3.0 million internationally lifting its worldwide total to $14 million. Prometheus earned $9.1 million of its $50 million opening weekend box office on IMAX, which is a record for a June opening. The winner of our One for the Ages contest were determined and they are. With many, many major markets left ahead of it, the film should have little trouble reaching more major milestones, while it should break even before it reaches the lucrative home market.Ĭontest: One for the Ages: Winning Announcement On the other hand, it slipped to second place during its second weekend in France down 45% to $4.41 million on 685 screens over the weekend for a total of $13.17 million so far. In both of those markets the film remained in top spot. In Mexico, it made $5.03 million on 572 screens over the weekend for a total of $14.82 million after two, while in Brazil it managed $4.19 million on 870 screens over the weekend for a total of $17.53 million after two.
At this pace, the film could top The Avengers as the biggest hit in the market this year by this time next week. Russia is known for steep declines (drop-offs greater than 60% are the norm). It fell just 36% in Russia for a weekend haul of $10.09 million on 1,830 screens over the weekend and a total of $36.00 million after two. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted held firm on top of the international chart with $52.82 million on 11,633 screens in 43 markets for a total of $158.43 million internationally and $277.44 million worldwide. is the best bet for Pick of the Week.Ĭeleste and Jesse Kill the Competition on the Per Theater Chart However, Dial M for Murder in 3D is also a contender. The Extraterrestrial, hasn't arrived yet, but its Anniversary Edition Blu-ray could be the best film on this week's list.
