Box Office Update 5/15-5/17: Angels & Demons Takes the Top Spot - Page 2

Part of: Box Office Update

The next couple of week's will be bringing such highly touted films as Terminator: Salvation, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, Up, Drag Me to Hell, and Land of Lost that will all but dominate the box office charts. So, say good bye to the drama or most serious films of any manner until the fall rolls around.

One movie dropped off the top ten this week: Hannah Montana: The Movie (11).

Box Office Predictions Recap

Mark your calendars, boys and girls. You are not likely to find a better week of predictions out of little old me. Some how, some way, I was on point when I penned these predictions. I was able to got the top ten in the correct order, but the fun does not stop there. On the predictions side of the board, I was almost equally good. My worst guesses were the weekend's top two films, and while they might be my worst, they were still pretty close. Next week? Well, let's not think about that just yet.

Here is how the field matched up:
