Box Office Predictions: January 24-26

It’s a pretty quiet frame upcoming this weekend at the box office as only one new entry – I, Frankenstein – debuts. You can read my detailed prediction post on that film here:

Unless I, Frankenstein has a healthier than expected premiere, the path should be clear for last weekend’s champ Ride Along to repeat at #1. The Kevin Hart/Ice Cube buddy comedy set the all-time January record of all time with a much larger than expected $48 million over the four-day holiday weekend.

Lone Survivor, The Nut Job, and Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit should all see drops in the mid to high 30s and Disney’s Frozen may finally fall out of the top five (though I’ve predicted that before and it’s stayed in there).

And with that, my predictions for this weekend’s top five:

1. Ride Along

Predicted Gross: $22.7 million (representing a drop of 45%)

2. I, Frankenstein

Predicted Gross: $16.6 million

3. Lone Survivor

Predicted Gross: $13.6 million (representing a drop of 38%)

4. The Nut Job

Predicted Gross: $12.5 million (representing a drop of 36%)

5. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

Predicted Gross: $9.5 million (representing a drop of 38%)

As always, I’ll update the blog’s Facebook page Saturday with early results and go over final results on Monday!
