Results for September 19-21
1. Lakeview Terrace – $15 million
2. Burn After Reading – $11 million
3. My Best Friend’s Girl – $8.3 million
4. Igor – $7.8 million
5. Righteous Kill – $7.4 million
As predicted by Dan and I, Lakeview Terrace topped the box office with $15 million. Burn After Reading had another solid weekend, bringing in $11 million that was good enough for the #2 spot. The Kate Hudson and Dane Cook romantic comedy had a weak opening, disappointing the box office with $8.3 million, but still good enough for the #3 spot. The mad scientist animation, Igor, stole the #4 spot with $7.8 million, and Righteous Kill rounded out the Top 5 with $7.4 million.
I hate to be crass, but Phil was way off with his predictions. He was able to predict 3 of the Top 5, but his Ghost Town prediction was far off. The only minor good call was including Igor into his Top 5 while Dan and I didn’t.
Dan predicted the Top 3 correctly, 4 out of the Top 5, and came the closest in guessing the weekend’s gross. He is the clear winner of the weekend.
See you Friday for our new predictions.
