predicted grosses in millions
With reviews that are looking to be purely glowing, DreamWorks' new drama, Road to Perdition, should fair very strongly this weekend, but with a restricted theater count that is quite modest, its chances of topping Men in Black II's second weekend is questionable. The film could follow through with a debut along the lines of Forrest Gump ($24.5 mil) and Apollo 13 ($25.4 mil). Opening in 2000+ locations, Road to Perdition could accomplish roughly $22.5 million in ticket sales.
Steve Irwin goes from television screen to the big-screen in what could be MGM's savior of the summer, The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course. While some could argue that moviegoers can get the same experience for free on cable rather than paying at the ticket window, Irwin has a large group of fans ranging from young to midaged demographics that should be willing to help the mate out, which could provide Crocodile Hunter a sparkling box office delivery. The production cost just $13 million and Steve states that every cent of revenue will go toward wildlife conservation, which should serve as an additional reason for his fans to pitch in. Debuting in 2400+ theaters, Crocodile Hunter could be a surprise hit and gross around $20.0 million for the 3-day weekend.
The next film on the list, Disney's Reign of Fire, is a total wildcard. The film reminds me of Disney's 13th Warrior in about every angle and way possible, but Fire could secure a strong weekend finish by supplying young audiences some midsummer fun with dragons, fire and whatnot. With its visual effects likely to be a treat for its crowd, Reign of Fire could debut close to The Cell's $17.5 million gross or Spawn's $21.2 million tally, but as an overall gut prediction right now (it could change by Thursday's final predictions), I only see a good launch of around $14.0 million at the box office.
Be sure to tune in on Thursday, July 11 for a full round of Final Predictions.
