Thsi si a forum to cover box office predictions for all the weekends in April. There will surely be many hits and many bombs in this exciting spring month.
April 5th-
BIG TROUBLE- This movie is going to be a big hit. It is based on a great novel. The trailers are funny and it boasts an all-star cast. It will open with about 15 million and finish with a superb 75 million.
NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VAN WILDER- This is going to be a hit also. It has been getting a lot of television marketing and the trailer plays great to teens and young adults. This movie is going to be the thing to see for young people. It will open with 20 million and finish with almost 100 million. This amy sound like a lot but if teens get behind something it'll be big.
HIGH CRIMES- This will do similar buisness to previous Freeman offerings. it should well with 11 million or so and end up with a nice 67 million.
April 12th-
FRAILTY- This is going to bomb although I am excited for it. I just don't see this film bringing in sell out audiences. It is going to be obscure. I would predict a 3 million opening and a finish with 8 million. Although it'll get abiiger audience on DVD.
THE SWEETEST THING- This movie will make a lot of money. It will connect with females and young men. I predict a 16 million opening and finish with about 74 million.
CHANGING LANES- This is going to be a moderate hit. It will atteact older men and fans of the stars. it should open with 11 million and finish with 70 million.
April 19th-
THE SCORPION KING- This will be a huge hit. It will attract a large audience of teens who want action and could not get into COLLATERAL DAMAGE. Plus MUMMY fans will love it. And many will see it for The Rock who they love from the WWF. I see a 30 million opening and a 125 million finish.
MURDER BY NUMBERS- This is going to be a pretty big hit. I think it will make about 13 million opening weekend and finish with about 68 million final.
April 26th-
LIFE OR SOMETHING LIKE IT- I smell a big bomb here. Jolie is not well liked and Burns is not mainstream. The trailers look odd and does not play well to audiences. I predict a 5 million opening and 14 million finish.
FRANK MCKLUSKY C.I.- This movie will not do well. I have not seen a single trailer and of the few photos I have seen it lokks dumb. I would be suprised if this saw the top ten. I predict a 500,000 opening and a 1.2 million final.
JASON X- This is the weeks big hit. I think teens and older fans will flock like chickens to see this film. The trailer gets an amazing reaction of laughs and screams. I see a 23 million opening and a finish of a not so great 45 million because it will probably drop like 55% after a stellar opening.
Well what do you guys think?
