Okay, Box Office Prophets finally has the weekend box office predictions based on the Friday numbers. They say "Charlotte's Web" is going to have a very strong family presence and have good legs. Having seen the film, which satisfies no one, I doubt that strongly. It opened weakly and will not do well, even though there's no pure little tyke movie left to come out this year. (Night at the Museum and Pursuit of Happyness and holdover Happy Feet are the closest ones, but they're not really for five year olds.) BOP also doesn't take into account the poisonous word of mouth that Eragon is going to have. Finally, they wrote "Will Smith's feel-good movie The Pursuit of Happyness shocks virtually everyone with a very impressive $9.2 million Friday, taking the top spot at the box office." It was no surprise if you read Popsurfing. The weekend Top 10 estimates from BOP based on Friday numbers:
1. The Pursuit Of Happyness -- $28.5 million
2. Eragon -- $23.5 million
3. Charlotte's Web -- $12.9 million
4. Happy Feet -- $8.5 million
5. The Holiday -- $8.3 million
6. Apocalypto --$7.6 million
7. Blood Diamond -- $6.6 million
8. Casino Royale -- $5.3 million
9. The Nativity Story -- $4.9 million
10. Unaccompanied Minors -- $3.8 million

What a great quote for the movie ad: "That wasn't fun at all." Hilarious.
