Dance Flick. (2009, 83 minutes, PG-13, comedy) Seriously? Do I really have to comment on this? When I first saw the trailer on the big screen I groaned. I also felt sad for everyone around me who seemed to think it was the funniest thing they'd ever seen. I think this one will be safe to skip.
Also opening this week, but not near me:
- The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story
- Burma VJ
- Easy Virtue
- The Girlfriend Experience
Box Office Predictions
Last week we very nearly had our first upset of the blockbuster season. Star Trek nearly retained the top spot in the face of the relatively soft open of Angels & Demons. This weekend I think the sci-fi film will outdo the religious thriller. Neither, however, will take the top spot as this weekend sees a pair of top shelf box office draws hitting the theater. One is a family film and the other may be a wide drawing sci-fi action film. Which will take the top spot this weekend? My bet is on Terminator: Salvation, although I would not be surprised to see it go the other way.
Here is how I think it could play out.
| Rank | Title | Box Office |
| 1 | Terminator: Salvation | $82 million |
| 2 | Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian | $68 million |
| 3 | Star Trek | $24 million |
| 4 | Angels & Demons | $22 million |
| 5 | Dance Flick | $15 million |
| 6 | X-Men Origins: Wolverine | $7.5 million |
| 7 | Ghosts of Girlfriends Past | $3.5 million |
| 8 | Monsters vs Aliens | $2.75 million |
| 9 | 17 Again | $2 million |
| 10 | Obsessed | $1.5 million |
