Box Office Challenge: 'Madea's Big Happy Family' 'Water for Elephants' and 'African Cats'

Box Office Challenge

Hitting the screens this weekend ...

Madea's Big Happy Family Water for Elephants POM Wonderful presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold African cats

TSR's complete Film Review Database

This week's got a handful of new movies, but when Tyler Perry's on the scene, is there every really much of a competition? My best guess is that Madea's Big Happy Family will find its way to the top of the box office this weekend.

Still, it's going to be tough to de-throne last weekend's winner, Rio. The animated film with the all-star cast boasted some impressive numbers last weekend, but it might find itself in second place this weekend,

Water for Elephants may have Robert Pattinson fans excited, but it's hard to believe that, no matter how good the movie, it will have much commercial appeal. Still, it might make out alright. I'm guessing it will pull into number three on our top five.

Scream 4 is hardly killing at the box office and with all these new releases coming out, I can't imagine that means good things for Craven and his ensemble cast.

Finally, Hop will probably find itself pulling into last place after plenty of time on top.

Each week Calhoun Kersten and Aaron Ruffcorn go head to head in a Box Office Challenge. Who will win? Maybe you.

Aaron will be back Monday with the Box Office Review. Tune in to find out who wins.

We’ll take a look at the box office and see if we can’t nail the Top 5 films (in correct order). Also guess how many millions the #1 movie will make.

It’s harder than you think. If you don’t believe, let’s see what your answers are.
