Meanwhile, whoever comes the closest to predicting the film's opening 3-day weekend box office (Friday to Sunday), without going under, will also win a copy of Burn Notice: Season Six on DVD.Įntries must be received by 10 a.m., Pacific Time on Friday to be eligible, so don't delay! (That will be two T-shirts of your choice, or a T-shirt and a shot glass pack, or a poster and two shot glasses, or a hoodie, etc.) Whoever comes the closest to predicting the film's opening 3-day weekend box office (Friday to Sunday), without going over, will win a copy of Burn Notice: Season Six on DVD, as well as $30 of merchandize from 5 Second Films. In order to win, one must simply predict the opening weekend box office number for Monsters University. It seems likely that Monsters University will open faster and is the better choice for target film for this week's box office prediction contest.
Both are earning strong reviews and both will have strong marketing behind them. June continues next weekend with two potential blockbuster releases: Monsters University and World War Z. This is great news, because 2013 is still far behind 2012. Meanwhile this year has a lot more depth at the box office than last year did, so 2013 should earn a victory in the year-over-year comparison. This weekend last year was led by Brave with $66.32 million, a figure Monsters University should top. Not only should both of those films score with moviegoers, but Man of Steel's sophomore stint should be strong as well resulting in a powerful weekend box office. There are two potential monster hits opening this weekend: Monsters University and World War Z. Weekend Wrap-Up: Summer Ends in an Upward Direction While I'm not happy this is the final season of the show, I'm very happy with the quality level for Season Five and it is the Pick of the Week. Fortunately, some screeners did arrive, including the final season of Leverage.
World War Z should lead the charts, both on DVD and on Blu-ray, but I'm not sure if I will agree with the pros or the cons on this one. This includes the biggest release of the week, World War Z, as well as a number of other releases I'm really looking forward to ( Behind the Candelabra, Nashville: The Complete First Season, Sofia the First: Ready to Be a Princess, etc.). It's kind of a bad week for screeners, as there are four or so that either didn't arrive on time, or still are not here. Will it break even on the home market? Or is it a flawed execution to a really good idea?ĭVD and Blu-ray Releases for September 17th, 2013 In the end, it cost $190 million to make and while it pulled in more than $500 million worldwide, it will likely need a little help on the home market to break even. However, there were hints of problems, including extensive reshoots.
World War Z was one of the most anticipated films of the summer, as it was based on a popular book and starred Brad Pitt, one of the biggest movie stars around. Fortunately, it was The Little Mermaid on Blu-ray Combo Pack and it, or the 3D Combo Pack, are worthy of Pick of the Week.įeatured Blu-ray / DVD Review: World War Z Unfortunately, only one screener did arrive on time. There are a number of interesting releases coming out this week, several of them have screeners that are on their way.
