I will freely admit that it’s a little tough to make a box office prediction on a film based on a series of teen fantasy novels that I know nothing about, but that’s what I’m here for!
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is the first pic from a series of popular novels from Cassandra Clare and Screen Gems must be fairly confident because a sequel is already in the works. Bones stars a cast of relative unknowns headlined by Lily Collins who’s probably most known for playing Sandra Bullock’s daughter in The Blind Side.
Its late summer release date indicates to me that anticipation for this is nowhere near the levels of a Twilight flick, to say the least. However, the novels apparently have their followers and it could post decent results in its five-day debut.
Over the past few weeks, movies are tending to make less than what most figured, so that could be a factor here as well. And a lot of the film’s target audience is beginning the dreaded process of going back to school.
My best shot in the dark guess is that The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones manages a five-day gross in the mid twenties.
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones opening weekend prediction: $15.7 million (Friday-to-Sunday gross), $23.9 million (five-day gross)
