Weekend Box Office Predictions Game: The Social Network Lets In Case 39 and a Vampire

In this new round of our Weekend Box Office Prophet Game, your goal is to predict what newcomers The Social Network, Case 39 with Renée Zellweger, Bradley Cooper and Ian McShane, Matt Reeves' Let Me In with Chloe Moretz and Kodi Smit-McPhee, as well as holdovers Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole will make in ticket sales from Friday, October 1 through Sunday, October 3. Your predictions will be averaged in with the other players to go up against The Prophet predictions. Should the average player differences between the actual box office gross and predicted grosses beat the Prophet for 3 or more of the 5 films, the top player will win the following: Date Night (Blu-ray), The Diplomat (Blu-ray), NCIS Los Angeles: The Complete First Season (DVD), Machine Gun McCain (Blu-ray), $5 A Day (Blu-ray), Wall Street: Insider Trading Edition (DVD) , and this week's new excellent addition, Modern Family: Season One (Blu-ray).

If the Prophet comes out on top then these prizes will roll into the next round and be joined by an eighth while the top player finisher will score a consolation DVD.

Once you are successfully logged in, the average player scores will update in real time below as new predictions are entered. The entry period will close at 9pm PST Thursday, September 30, with this round's results being published sometime Monday in our box office actuals report.

There are currently 58 players up against the Prophet The entry period for October 1 - 3 has already ended. Follow the weekly results at the Weekend Box Office Prophet main page. Case 39 Case 39 has been sitting on a shelf for the past year plus and is finally seeing the light of day on 2,000 screens. The headlining cast of Renée Zellweger, Bradley Cooper and Ian McShane is solid, but it's going to be tough for this horror thriller to compete against a stronger field. All: $9.3   Me: n/a   Prophet: $7.4   Actual: $5.4 Let Me In Let Me In is being heralded as equal to if not strong than the Swedish original Let The Right One In. Reviews are rocking for the American version but is there a wide audience for the edgy vampire film? We could be looking at a Kick-Ass effect here of stronger home video business than theatrical. Opens on 2,000 screens. All: $13.3   Me: n/a   Prophet: $10.7   Actual: $5.1 The Social Network Fincher's latest is riding overwhelmingly positive reviews and is already speculated to be a Best Picture nominee. The big question is how many Facebook users care enough about how the company was founded to watch a movie about it? I'm thinking enough to win the weekend. Opens on 2,700 screens. All: $23.9   Me: n/a   Prophet: $22.6   Actual: $22.4 Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps The sequel to Wall Street opened to a decent but not mind blowing $19 million last weekend. It's post-release buzz has been nowhere near as strong as Ben Affleck's The Town which could mean The Town leapfrogs Gorden Gekko for this upcoming weekend. All: $11.2   Me: n/a   Prophet: $9.5   Actual: $10.0 Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole The CGI owls clawed their way to $16.1 million last weekend, well below the film's estimated $80 million+ budget. It turned out that parents weren't as interested in taking their kids to see an edgy kids flick as Warner thought they'd be. Which is a shame since it has been so well reviewed. All: $9.8   Me: n/a   Prophet: $6.6   Actual: $10.9
