Box Office Predictions 7/8

Well no Step Brothers this week (sorry Ryan), just couldn't handle the standard Will Ferrell performance. Instead I went to Pineapple Express, of which my review will appear this weekend.

I am positive that Pineapple will take the #1 spot of the week/weekend with an estimate of $42 mill for the 5 day run (the advertising was lengthy, well-placed, and the buzz is insane--the Finke disagrees), just above the Dark Knight which will be back with another $40 (no one can stop the momentum), and Traveling Pants (ughh) will take 3rd with $30 million (well, it is a sequel and girl ensembles are in right now post- Sex In The City). I was pretty accurate last week, let's see if I can make it 2 in a row.

Meanwhile if you haven't heard the news, Brad Pitt has signed on to Inglorious Bastards, the new Tarantino WWII pic. This project is picking up star power and buzz fast, I hope the hype won't flounder -- it actually sounds intriguing.
