The Weekend Warrior: February 5 - 7 - ComingSoon.net

The Weekend Warrior looks at the box office possibilities for February 5 - 7

The only thing vaguely interesting is that Dear John (3000 theaters, but only 30% positive reviews) may - and I stress MAY - take the weekend away from Avatar. Dear John's advance ticket sales have been quite strong, and the two films are expected to run neck-and-neck. The other new film, From Paris With Love (2700 theaters, 32% positive reviews), is expected to finish a mediocre third.

Here is the Rotten Tomatoes page for this week's new films. Dear John is based on a Nicolas Sparks girlie novel. It's the fifth of his weepy-ass books to be made into a movie. You probably remember Message in a Bottle and The Notebook, for example. From Paris With Love is a mismatched-buddy film involving international terrorism and wisecracks. Kind of a Bruce Willis film without Bruce Willis.
