There was one other notable title in the top ten this week, marking its third trip to the top ten — There Will Be Blood (winner of two Oscars). Its gross slipped just 11% from last week as it climbed two spots to come in at number ten. This is one that is going to be remembered for a long time; make sure you see it if you haven't already.

Next week will see new competition from the oddly titled The Other Boleyn Girl featuring the pairing of Natalie Portman and Scarlet Johansson, the fantasy drama I know little about in Penelope, and the surefire number one film, the Will Ferrell sports comedy Semi-Pro.

Three movies dropped off the top ten this week: The Bucket List (11), 27 Dresses (15), and Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: The Best of Both Worlds Tour (16).

Box Office Predictions Recap

A lot of overestimations this week, and a lot of poor placements. Vantage Point was the only sure thing. As for the rest? Well, with the returning films it was easy to tell the general area they were going to land in, but what they would end up with was the tricky part. For example, we all knew that Jumper was going to drop north of 50%, but who would have predicted the mere 30% drop for The Spiderwick Chronicles to retain its number two slot?

As for the new releases, I am surprised to see neither Witless Protection nor Charlie Bartlett in the top ten. I thought the former would be a shoo-in for the low end, although I am glad it didn't make it. As for Bartlett, I thought the theater count would be able to push it to the top ten; hopefully word of mouth will help it as it is actually pretty good and it is most likely hurt by the R rating, although I wouldn't want anything cut.

Here is how the field matched up:
