Box Office Predictions: June 28-30

This weekend at the box office, we could have a true three way battle for the top spot, with the Channing Tatum-Jamie Foxx action flick White House Down and the Sandra Bullock-Melissa McCarthy buddy cop comedy The Heat vying for #1 against the second weekend of Monsters University.

I think it’ll be a close race. You can find my detailed analysis predicting The Heat‘s opening here:

And you can read my post regarding White House Down here:

Ultimately, I feel Monsters will retain its #1 standing, but just barely. If any of the three titles end up first, it wouldn’t surprise me (you can see how close I’ve got it). Rounding out the top five, World War Z and Man of Steel are likely to lose more than half of their audience from last weekend. And with that, my top five predictions for the weekend:

1. Monsters University

Predicted Gross: $45.6 million (representing a drop of 44%)

2. The Heat

Predicted Gross: $44.7 million

3. White House Down

Predicted Gross: $40.3 million

4. World War Z

Predicted Gross: $29.1 million (representing a drop of 56%)

5. Man of Steel

Predicted Gross: $20.2 million (representing a drop of 51%)
