Box Office Predictions
The last weekend of February went out on a whimper. I predict March is going to get out of the gate with a bang. Watchmen is all but guaranteed of making a killing. The big question is just how high will it fly? I want to say it will fly really high, but I am not sure. It is an R rated film and those do not generally get giant openings. Still, I have some faith as the hype machine has been in full swing and there have been some highly positive reviews coming out, such as a four star offering from Roger Ebert. That should help push it up a little bit.
Here is how I think it could play out.
| Rank | Title | Box Office |
| Watchmen | $68 million | |
| 2 | Slumdog Millionaire | $10million |
| 3 | Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail | $12 million |
| 4 | Taken | $9 million |
| 5 | Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience | $6.5 million |
| 6 | He's Just Not That Into You | $6 million |
| 7 | Coraline | $4.75 million |
| 8 | Paul Blart: Mall Cop | $4.5 million |
| 9 | Confessions of a Shopaholic | $3 million |
| 10 | Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li | $2.5 million |
