Box Office Predictions 10/16/09
Last weekend Couples Retreat was the only wide release. The movie was disappointing but it was able to pull in 34 million showing the draw of a simple comedy with a well-liked cast. This weekend though brings a wildly unique film along with action and suspense offerings. Where the Wild Things Are, the adaptation so famous short children's book, will certainly top the charts this weekend. While this is by no means a traditional kids movie it does have expanded appeal across all demos. The ...
