User blog:Ceauntay/Box Office Prediction: Sonic To Triumph Thor

After a long week of beating 'Scooby-Doo! The Movie for being the top box office opening of 2011, Sonic X: The Final Stand' will attempt to make a strong opening this weekend. That means that two animated films will dominate 2011 for the first time. This weekend, it will replace last week's Thor from being top of the box office, as well as Fast Five, Priest and Bridesmaid.

The question is will it make as much money as Toy Story 3 and Shrek 2? The answer is not sure. However, it will have a far opening upon its own franchise itself. This fifth and final entry for the blue hedgehog will come to a huge finish as it should earn as much money as it can, due to 3D ticket prices increasing. Thor will continue to go strong. It may be losing a spot, but it will attempt to make it a far box office impression.

Looking to be the first break out comedy hit of the summer is Brides Maids. Buzz has been slowly building for this all female film which was written by SNL alum Kristen Wiig who also stars in the film. Bridesmaids could just be what the doctor ordered as female audiences have had nothing to rush out too in months. Throw in the marquee name of Judd Apatow as producer, the comparisons to the Hang Over and solid reviews should enable ''Bridesmaids' to open strong at #2 and possibly hold strong for weeks to come. After just two weeks Fast Five is on course to become the highest grossing Fast & The Furious film of all time, domestically and globally. Fast Five has been a strong performer during the week,and should it’s gross cut in half to drop to the #3 spot this weekend. Rounding out the top five is the debut of the horror film Priest which should find itself landing at theatres with Scream 4 whimpering out of theatres. A lack of any real horror entry should allow Priest to open modestly in the #4. Rounding out the top five is Jumping The Broom which opened beyond expectations last weekend, and even scored a solid A grade from cinema score indicting that audiences may keep coming back for more. 'Scooby-Doo! The Movie' will continue into theaters and going strong. The Top Ten
