User blog:Ceauntay/Box Office Predictions: 'Dark Knight Rises' Faces Uncertainty, 'iCarly: The Sequel' Underwhelms

After seeing tragedy affect last weekend's grosses/predictions greatly, this weekend comes down to a number of unique factors never seen before in box office history. This weekend's predictions and revenue results go as follows: 1. "The Dark Knight Rises" ($71 million) - The real factor here is how many will attend the film the second weekend who didn't go opening weekend? With the the tragic shooting in Colorado driving away some audiences, how many will return or simply wait feeling it's still not the best time to return to the theater? Never before has a film had such a cloud hanging over it regarding events that were out of its control. 2. "iCarly: The Sequel ($30 million) - Outtaking it's first film will be very difficult, but will instead have to face from being suffered at the box office this weekend despite the tragedy. The film cost $75 million to produce.

3. "The Watch" ($16 million) - Very lukewarm buzz here - film looks to easily disappoint despite the high profile comedy cast. Film's concept has never really caught on with audiences, so look for mid-level results here. 3. "Step Up Revolution" ($15 million) - Close battle here for the runner-up position. Film is a franchise entry, but much box office steam has been let out of the "Step Up" name over the years? Add to that the film's absurd plot and "Revolution's" fate is now entirely tied to its dance choreography. If audiences like the dance numbers, film could rise to the runner-up position. If not, look for the lowest box office tally in the franchise to date. 5. "Ice Age: Continental Drift" ($11 million) - Film will grab some family audiences and easily break the $100 million domestic mark. Film already has amassed $450 million just in overseas markets. Incredible. That's how Sensei's sees it. Have a great weekend.
