The Weekend Warrior: July 15 - 17

The Weekend Warrior looks at the box office for July 15 - 17

I dunno. Something opens this week. Not sure what.

Seriously? Harry Potter will shoot at The Dark Knight's all time record for best opening weekend. Given the number of 3D theaters with inflated ticket prices, the boy wizard will certainly work some box office magic. Will it be enough to crash the Batmobile? Warrior does not think so. He's predicting $138m for Potter. Dark Knight's record is $158m.

$138 million is still impressive. That would be almost twice as much as the sum of the other films on the list!

The reboot of Winnie the Pooh is expected to gross only $8 million, barely enough for 5th place.
