Box Office Blitz Turns 21!

Much like in high school, last week the big muscular jocks took the Star Trek nerds and gave them an atomic wedgie with "Fast & Furious 6" making over $120M compared to the paltry $70M Star Trek made its opening weekend.  That saddens me as those Fast and Furious movies seem to appeal to the lowest common denominator, all apologies to Offutt.  But now Vin Diesel, the Rock, and company have to face off against Will Smith.  Who will triumph and who will fall?  That's what we're here to figure out!

Anyway you should know the rules by now.  If not, just look up the first week's post.  Though the prizes have been updated for 2nd and 3rd place.


Here's the list of movies from my local megaplex (* denotes a new release)

• 42
• After Earth* (They must have bumped it up because on the Iron Man 3 trailer it said June 7)
• Epic
• Fast & Furious 6
• Iron Man 3
• Jurassic Park 3D
• Mud 
• Not Today*
• Now You See Me*
• Oblivion
• Olympus Has Fallen
• Oz the Great & Powerful
• Peeples
• Star Trek Into Darkness
• The Big Wedding
• The Great Gatsby 
• The Hangover 3
• The Iceman 
• What Maisie Knew*

I was going to put "After Earth" first because you never want to count Will Smith out (as I wrote a whole blog entry about in 2011) but then I found out M. Night Shamaylan was involved, so my picks this week will be:

1. Fast & Furious 6 $50M
2. After Earth $40M 
3. Hangover 3 $30M 

This week's bonus question worth 400 points is this:
Will the magic-themed "Now You See It" top the paltry $10.3M brought in by "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" its opening weekend in March?

Answer YES, NO, or THEY WILL TIE (unlikely) in the comments along with your picks.

Results will post on Sunday.
