One of you who beats the Prophet may just walk away with a prize. Believe me when I say the Prophet does not like to lose. Good luck, players. There are currently 48 players up against the Prophet The entry period for September 18 - 20 has already ended. Follow the weekly results at the Weekend Box Office Prophet main page. ![]() Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 3,000 screens, the most this weekend, combined with higher 3D ticket prices should lift Meatballs to victory. Kids and parents will have a tough time turning down giant pancakes falling from the sky. I'm getting hungry writing about it. All: $22.4 Me: n/a Prophet: $23.7 Actual: $30.3 ![]() The Informant! The Informant! comes in on 2,400 screens riding the shoulders of a chunky Matt Damon. The ads prey on the film's humor but early mixed critical reaction and Friday word of mouth *could* have a negative impact on ticket sales. Or Matt Damon's presence could rule the roost. All: $15.7 Me: n/a Prophet: $15.2 Actual: $10.5 ![]() Jennifer's Body From the writer of Juno and starring the sweaty hot chick from Transformers. Is that enough to push this Species-esque horror thriller with hip dialogue and social commentary to a big weekend? 2,500 screens and the male population's obsession with Megan Fox help, but poor early reviews do not. All: $15.8 Me: n/a Prophet: $11.9 Actual: $6.9 ![]() Love Happens Nevermind the irony of Jennifer Aniston and "Two-Face" getting together. Love Actually is Aniston's first wide release since He's Just Not That Into You which opened to nearly $28 million. That film benefited from over 3,100 screens while Love Happens is on 1,800, the lowest of the newcomers. All: $11.8 Me: n/a Prophet: $7.2 Actual: $8.1 ![]() I Can Do Bad All by Myself Tyler Perry's latest hit cruised to an easy win last weekend with $24 million but should be overwhelmed by a stronger field the second time around. The Informant! will likely steal the biggest chunk of Perry's momentum. Expect a minimum 50% drop from the first weekend. All: $11.3 Me: n/a Prophet: $10.1 Actual: $9.9
