Box Office Predictions Recap
Well, I knew this was going to be a slow weekend, but I had no idea it was going to be this slow! This being the case, my guesstimates were a bit off. Surprisingly, I was in the ballpark on all of them except the top pick, Bangkok Dangerous. I knew something was up when my friends and I went to a Friday evening screening and there was scarcely a handful of people there. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but somehow I always am.
