User blog:Ceauntay/'Sonic X: The Final Stand' Vs. 'Thor': Who Will Be King Of Box Office?





Two blockbusters Sonic X: The Final Stand and Thor entered into theaters this weekend. But the question is, who will be king at the box office?

Thor opened last week with a solid $66 million in its opening weekend from 3,955 theaters. This weekend it will fall short to make about another $30 million, giving its week total to $100 million, which is half of its $150 million budget. The Avengers is hitting theaters in May 2012, where else Captain America: The First Avenger is hitting theaters in July 2011.

Meanwhile, Sonic X: The Final Stand opened in 4,205 theaters. It is expecting to open at no. 1 with $125 million, which is going to be the biggest weekend opening ever for an animated film, biggest opening weekend ever for a 20th Century Fox film, biggest opening weekend ever for a 3D film, biggest opening weekend ever for a film released in 2011, and the biggest opening weekend ever of the franchise. This will be far a huge opening for a film that costs $245 million to produce. Shadow the Hegehog: The Movie will be released in August 2012.

Meanwhile, two other new releases Priest and Bridesmaids opened this weekend. Bridesmaids, which cost $32 million to produce, is expected to take the no. 3 spot, where else Priest will flop taking the no. 5 spot. Fast Five will continue to the no. 4 spot.
