"Elysium" looks great, and it looks like it could be the best sci-fi of the year yet. Okay, I'll try to keep my expectations lower than that, because it's been quite a year for sci-fi.

Box Office Predictions: July 26-28
"The Wolverine" has the benefit of opening on a weekend where there isn't any other blockbuster. Of course, there are the holdovers, but they don't pose much direct competition. The five previous X-Men films open to a weighted average of $76.58 million. It will earn less than that number, but not by a wide margin. … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: July 26-28

Box Office Predictions: ‘The Heat’, ‘White House Down’
Comedy movies have performing fairly well so far this year. A few bombed (Movie 43), a few opened to expectations (This is the End), and a few impressed (Identity Thief). Now, it's time to see how the Sandra Bullock/Melissa McCarthy buddy comedy will perform. I think it will out-do Identity Thief, but not by … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘The Heat’, ‘White House Down’
May 10-12 Box Office Predictions: ‘The Great Gatsby’ and ‘Peeples’
History isn't on The Great Gatsby's side. For whatever reason, Warner Bros. shows the preference to release summer movies on the second weekend, where they can either flop or prosper, based on the reception of the movie that starts the summer. They can either do decent business (Dark Shadows opened to $29.68 million against The Avengers; and Robin … Continue reading May 10-12 Box Office Predictions: ‘The Great Gatsby’ and ‘Peeples’
