Weekend Box Office Report Predictions (May 10th - May 12th)

Weekend Box Office Report Predictions (April 26th - April 28th)



Every Friday, I look at the films opening this week as well as the films that have already opened to predict which films will be in the top 10. Let's take a look.

1. Pokemon: Detective Pikachu - The Ryan Reynolds-led film will rake in some money this weekend and probably dethrone Avengers: Endgame from the number one spot. While it will be extremely close (a lot closer than we had originally thought), I think it's a safe bet that Detective Pikachu will make good money based on good will from the Pokemon fanbase. 

2. Avengers: Endgame - But regardless, Avengers: Endgame is going to stick for a LONG time. This weekend is no different. On its crusade to take over Avatar and probably hit 3 billion, it's going to be in the number two spot.

3. The Hustle - The other big film opening this weekend is the comedy, The Hustle. The film is counter programming, so the top two films won't really affect the box office all too much, which is why it will comfortably be in the number 3 spot. 

4. Uglydolls - The other biggest counter-programming film, Uglydolls, looks to daw in the children's audience for a second weekend. While it won't make a ton of money at all, it's going to be here. 

5. Long Shot - This film is in the top five only because of good word-of-mouth. The film above it this weekend, The Intruder, has been critically panned, and I think that Long Shot will overtake it.
