Great overall performances by the top three, although that's an awful Saturday drop for Immortals. I'm curious to see where Jack & Jill goes from here. I don't think $100M is happening, but how are audiences reacting? The rest of the top 10 offered no surprises.
Since the summer of 2001. I joined the BoxOfficeReport.com forums, and posted there regularly for a good four or five years. I spent one summer ('07) on the Mojo forums, but by that point I had already begun to lose interest in posting. I've continued following the box office and decided the other day to come back online. I miss the predictions and thoughts of other box office fans. Happy to be here.
Films like Immortals aren't known for their legs, but It has Thanksgiving ahead of it with no competition for men in sight. Don't forget 3D, and hey, maybe people give it some decent WOM.
If Immortals experiences the same Saturday and Sunday drops as Clash of the Titans, it's looking at $30-31M and #1.The awesome Puss in Boots hold isn't much of a surprise. Nor are the debuts for J. Edgar and Jack & Jill. I have a feeling Sony will put Jack & Jill just over $20M for the weekend estimates.
This was one of those special breed of blockbuster that is so utterly forgettable. The only real positive I came away with was the chemistry between Downey and Law. Oh yeah, and Zimmer's score. It reminded me of The Da Vinci Code in the way it completely disinterested me in ever seeing a sequel.
