Can't complain about this weekend's box office. The quality kids' movie won. The quality adult comedy came in second. It seems like we've learned two things ... Megan Fox isn't the draw studios thought she was, and you put Jennifer Aniston in a romantic comedy and enough people will see it. No matter how painful it is.
As far as my predictions in the Box Office Preview ... not so good.
My prediction for the weekend of Sept. 18-20
1. ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’ – $25 million 2. ‘Jennifer’s Body’ 3. ‘The Informant!’ 4. ‘Love Happens’ 5. ‘I Can Do Bad All By Myself’
Next week. I'll get it next week.
