The read our review). The horror film looks set to bank a decent (if unspectacular) $17.7 million. The Ole Bornedal directed film is already on the road to profitability as it cost less than $20 million to produce. It will likely take a big hit next weekend, before it scores more cash on DVD.
Director John Hillcoat’s (read our review) will open second with a weekend take of $9.6 million. That would give the film a total of $11.8 million since its release last week. The film stars Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Guy Pearce, Jessica Chastain, and Alice In Wonderland star Mia Wasikowska – so a larger debut was expected. However, it has the potential to stabilize next week helping it achieve a solid final gross. That’s the plan anyway.
Action extravaganza The Expendables 2 dropped to third. The Stallone/Schwarzenegger/Willis/Statham film looks set to shoot-up $8.8 million for the weekend, seeing it raise its cume to $66 million. The film is still running behind the original 2010 film and it is unlikely to hit $100 million.
Another $7.2 million will see The Bourne Legacy raise its gross to over $96 million. The Jeremy Renner film will be the lowest grossing film in the Bourne franchise, hitting less than 2002’s The Bourne Identity.
Animated adventure ParaNorman should gross another $6.5 million, raising its cume to $38 million.
The Odd Life Of Timothy Green will bank another $6 million for a $35.9 million cumulative total.
Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight’s final box office take.
The Campaign will see its gross swell to $73 million, following a weekend take to $5.4 million. It's doing well.
2016 Obama’s America should bank $5.1 million over the three days for a $18 million total gross, while Meryl Streep’s Hope Springs rounded out the top ten, grossing $4.7 million for a $52 million total.
That’s it for now. See you at the movies.
