Weekend Box Office #48
A couple of interesting films coming out wide this weekend, and one dumb-looking one.
3:10 TO YUMA (2652 theaters). I know a couple of guys who have seen this already, one more than once, and they both rave about it. It probably won't open huge, but it should hold well. Call it $18.7 million opening weekend.
SHOOT 'EM UP (2108 theaters). Nice descriptive title, good cast. Probably split the audience a bit with Yuma, but it should do around $13.5 million for the weekend.
THE BROTHERS SOLOMON (700 screens). The reviews aren't good, and it's hard to believe Will Arnett has enough diehard fans to make this a hit. $1.7 million.

Both "3:10 to Yuma" and "Shoot 'Em Up" got good reviews from the Seattle Times. Saw the trailer for "The Brothers Solomon" a couple movies ago, AND they couldn't even make that look appealing.
Deep into my latest writing project. Will skip the silver screen this weekend, though "3:10 to Yuma" looks AWESOME!

I noticed 'This is England' is in LA. I saw it when I was in London a few months ago. I highly recommend it if anyone gets a chance, great film! Maybe the best thing out there right now and kind of under the radar.
it will be interesting to see which one between Yuma and Shoot 'Em Up takes the prize this weekend. It's a good test of where people are in their taste. Although Shoot 'Em Up looks fun, Yuma looks like a real story. I hope Yuma wins, but I plan to see both at some point this week.
