Weekend Estimates

The Grudge 2, as predicted took over the #1 spot in American cinemas over the weekend with a predicted $22 millioin from previous holder The Departed- which fell to #2. Robin Williams' universally blasted comedy Man of the Year opened at #3 with $12.6 million. Final numbers will probably be out sometime tomorrow.

This Friday, Oct. 20 sees the release of a good handful of movies including Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated The Prestige, Clint Eastwood's next Oscar endeavor, Flags of Our Fathers, and Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy's first try at cinema, Running With Scissors. Also opening is Sophia Coppola's biopic Marie Antoinette.
All of these movies will probably be worth seeing + go see The Departed some more.
