In Reply to: By this reasoning WALL-E didn't do very well. posted by sjb on June 29, 2008 at 17:32:32:
Wall-E opened against a sleeper hit (Wanted), which pulled in $51 million. I suspect that Wall-E will get a huge bounce this week with the July 4th holiday family crowds (I predict this weeks Box Office take will carry it well over the $100 million mark while Get Smart continues to slide. The biggest competition for Wanted next weekend will be Hancock (both are action films for older audiences), but since Hancock is only garnering so-so reviews the weekend outcome for which does better financially is a toss-up. My prediction: Wall-E will be #1 at the Box Office again next weekend.AuPh
