Also opening this week, but not near me:
- I Hate Valentine's Day - do we really need another Nia Vardalos movie already
Box Office Predictions
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen won last weekend, will it have the legs to take a second? I am not sure. I do expect to see a steep percentage drop, it is impossible to open that big and not suffer a precipitous drop, how many people of the originals will be rushing out to see it again so soon? Probably not many, so the pool will be made up by those who chose to avoid opening weekend crowds, but then those numbers could be tempered by those celebrating Independence Day with their families, although holidays generally make good times to go see a movie as a family. The possibilities make my head hurt. I suspect the battle will be between the juggernaut sequel and the upstart animated sequel. Ultimately, it will be Scrat and the Ice Age gang taking the crown. Dillinger will have to settle for third.
Here is how I think it could play out.

| 1 | Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs | $60 million |
| 2 | Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen | $51 million |
| 3 | Public Enemies | $32 million |

| 5 | The Hangover | $9 million |
| 6 | Up | $7 million |
| 7 | My Sister's Keeper | $6 million |
| 8 | Year One | $3 million |
| 9 | The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 | $2.5 million |
