New this week in theaters: Land of the Lost, The Hangover, My Life in Ruins
Two new films this weekend in theaters to battle it out – for second place. Pixar’s Up will likely hang on to the top spot, netting $35-40 million in its second week. The other new films, Will Ferrell’s Land of the Lost and adult comedy The Hangover, will duke it out for second. We predict Land of the Lost with a $30 million take, while The Hangover will be behind at around $25 million. Night at the Museum should follow next with a $10-12 million haul. Also opening is My Life in Ruins, with Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) as she tries to capture lighting in a bottle a second time. Don’t expect anything more than $5 million or so.
New this week:
Land of the Lost
Reviews haven’t been great, but the trailers look fun. Watch for a solid opening but we’ll see if this holds up.
The Hangover
Good trailer and solid early buzz may make this the ‘adult’ sleeper hit. Good word of mouth should help this do well.
My Life in Ruins
Nia Vardalos’ new film screams ‘chick flick’. Mediocre early reviews won’t stop the ladies from enjoying it. Also, Nia is looking great.
