Box Office Predictions: 'Evil Dead' Should Scare Up Easy Victory Over 'Croods,' 'G.I. Joe'

Sensei extended his call streak to ten weeks last week. Can the horror genre rise to take the top spot?

Sensei’s weekend predictions and revenue results go as follows:

1. “Evil Dead” ($28 million) -Quite the surprise here, but going with the horror remake to take theframe. Even though other films will post decent holds, this one is setup perfectly to pull a surprise finish. Is it possible that Sam Raimi’sback after Oz: The Great and Powerful and this? Perhaps, but won’t be easy making up for his Spider-Man 3 debacle.

2. “GI Joe: Retaliation” ($19.3 million) – Tough call here for the runner-up spot. Will face quite a test from The Croods. I’ll give the Joes a slight edge. 

3. “The Croods” ($19 million) -Has its eye on the second place spot. With family audiences as itsbacking (not to mention positive word of mouth), such a result is morethan possible.

4. “Jurassic Park 3D” ($14 million) – Easilyone of the strongest entries to be converted to 3D. The problem isoverall interest in the 3D conversions remains on the decline.

5. “Tyler Perry’s Temptation” ($9 million) – On track to be one of Tyler Perry’s most successful films ever.

That’s Sensei’s calls. Enjoy the weekend.
