Management. (2009, 94 minutes, R, comedy) I am not sure about this one, although I am very curious. It is a romantic comedy that begins when Jennifer Aniston checks into a hotel run by Steve Zahn's parents. He is a hopeless dreamer who falls for her, she is a buttoned down, orderly woman with no room for him. He risks it all on a cross country trip after she returns home to try and rekindle a relationship with her ex-boyfriend, played by Woody Harrelson. This gives Zahn something to fight for. It looks quite funny and rather low-key. Not sure where they will take it, but I want to find out.
Also opening this week, but not near me:
- Big Man Japan
- The Brothers Bloom
- O'Horten
- Summer Hours
Last week we all knew that Star Trek would take the top spot. Does anyone think it has the strength to take a second weekend? Maybe? It's unlikely, but I would not be disappointed if it were to happen. This week's hotly tipped opener, Angels & Demons, arrives this weekend with its eyes set at the top. I suspect it will win, just not by any type of enormous blockbuster take. Based on purely anecdotal evidence, not many people I speak to are all that interested in it. It will likely win, just don't expect it to pull Star Trek or Wolverine numbers. The rest will just shift down in the wake of the fattening blockbuster season.
Here is how I think it could play out.
| Rank | Title | Box Office |
| 1 | Angels & Demons | $53 million |
| 2 | Star Trek | $38 million |
| 3 | X-Men Origins: Wolverine | $15 million |
| 4 | Ghosts of Girlfriends Past | $7 million |
| 5 | Obsessed | $4 million |
| 6 | 17 Again | $3.25 million |
| 7 | Monsters vs Aliens | $3 million |
| 8 | The Soloist | $2.5 million |
| 9 | Next Day Air | $2 million |
| 10 | Earth | $1.5 million |
