As for the rest of the field, the grosses were pretty flat from last week. While the box office total, as a whole, was well down from last week, and from the equivalent weekend from 2007, none of the films had sizable drop offs. The Spiderwick Chronicles and Fool's Gold led the pack with drops of less than 34% each. Pretty impressive, particularly for Spiderwick, which I thought would be fading by now. At the other end of the spectrum, last week's number one, Vantage Point, slipped 44%, a better hold than I would have expected based on the anecdotal evidence provided by the audience with which I saw it.

Next week will see the release of the much hyped epic 10,000 BC, the Jason Statham heist pic The Bank Job, and Disney's College Road Trip.

Four movies dropped off the top ten this week: Juno (11), Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (12), Be Kind, Rewind (13), and There Will Be Blood (15).

Box Office Predictions Recap Save for the overestimation of Semi-Pro, my predictions for gross fared pretty well. You might even say I did a good job, but I would hesitate on going that far. Let's settle for lucky. Eight of the top ten I got within $1 million, the other one I was off on was a slight underestimation of The Other Boleyn Girl. I am surprised that it opened as well as it did, not that it did gangbusters, but it was a touch higher than I expected.

Here is how the field matched up:

3	3	The Spiderwick Chronicles	$8,700,378	$9 million
5	4	Jumper	$7,568,462	$7 million
6	5	Step Up 2: The Streets	$5,742,479	$5.5 million
4	6	The Other Boleyn Girl	$8,203,061	$5 million
