The title says predictions, but there’s really only one prediction to make. This weekend’s lone, lonely new wide release is the 22nd entry in the James Bond pantheon, Quantum of Solace.

Assessing The Weekend: How Long Until High School Musical 4?
The weekend proved to be a two horse race. Outside of High School Musical 3 and Saw V, the only movie that cracked $2,500 per screen was The Secret Life of Bees.

Weekend Predictions: 10-17-08
I’m going to go out on a limb and say Beverly Hills Chihuahua won’t dominate the box office again. It’s possible it could do $10.5 million, but it’s got to drop off at some point.

Assessing The Weekend: Never Underestimate The Power Of Chihuahuas
Who would’ve thought Beverly Hills Chihuahua could dominate a second weekend? I dismissed it as an opening weekend beast that would flame out rather quickly.

Assessing The Weekend: Disappointment At St. Anna
The results are in and as predicted, Eagle Eye crushed the competition at the box office, raking in $29,150,721, a respectable $8,305 per screen. The marketing and good buzz proved quite a boost. Miracle at St. Anna was on the opposite end of the spectrum, making a paltry $3,477,996.

Weekend Predictions: 9-26-08
It’s Friday and the new releases are upon us, so I’ve been working on my box office prediction formula. I predict Eagle Eye will win the weekend going away.
