This weekend sees the release of at least two movies hoping to grab your box office dollars. Will any of them deliver? Here’s our predictions:
Also opening this weekend is Dracula Untold, a film that many are saying will reboot and realign the Universal Pictures monster movie franchises. The film is an interpretation of Dracula’s origin, which to be fair is something we’ve never actually seen on the big screen. Will this classic character actually have an appeal to younger mainstream filmgoers? It’s hard to say – there are no big superstars in the film, and horror fans may have already been placated with the success of last weekends Annabelle. Look for a third-place showing for Dracula Untold with $20 million.
As for the rest of the top five, Gone Girl should hold onto the top spot for another weekend with $25 million. Annabelle will once again be second with $22 million, while new family release Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day will debut in fifth place with a not very good $13 million.
So, to recap, here are our predictions:
1) Gone Girl – $25 million
2) Annabelle – $22 million
3) Dracula Unbound – $20 million
4) The Judge – $15 million
5) Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very bad Day – $13 million
