Box Office Guru Preview: Beowulf Set To Conquer Multiplexes

by Gitesh Pandya | Thursday, Nov. 15 2007

Summary

One animated film will bump another from the number one spot at the North American box office. But the new warrior Beowulf is no B movie but an A-list production from an Oscar-winning director offering action audiences something new. Also opening this weekend but likely to see more modest grosses are the family pic Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium and the romantic drama Love in the Time of Cholera. Back to Article

I think Beowulf Is gonna do between 42.5 and 57 at least....would almost call it a given. I think that its gonna capture kids who grew up reading the story and writing book reports on it, will see it, while tech people will also catch it for the CGI graphical version of the trippy shizzle they did for "A Scanner Darkly"

Guess we will see.

I think that if Beowulf debuts successfully, they can thank that 1-18-08 for picking Beowulf as the movie where they debut their actual trailer(they had the teaser for Transformers) for that movie alone. That will get you a couple million more dollars, and then some.

ItchyBarracude has got it right! But I'm thiking it'd be a little more modest, like, 52 billion. MR. MAGORIUM'S WONDER EMPORIUM will be a close second!
