The Other Guys Step Up the Box Office

Will Ferrell's and Mark Wahlberg's The Other Guys easily topped the box office this weekend with just over $35 million, easily beating Inception's fourth weekend.

Despite it's 3D unveiling, Step Up 3D debuted in third place, and also third overall in the Step Up franchise with just over $15 million.

Weekend Estimates:
  1. The Other Guys: $35.6 million ($35.6 million total) Budget: n/a
  2. Inception: $18.6 million ($227.7 million total) Budget: $160 million
  3. Step Up 3D: $15.5 million ($15.5 million total) Budget: n/a
  4. Salt: $11.1 million ($92 million total) Budget: $110 million

A couple of new movies try to fend off Inception in its fourth weekend.

The Other Guys
Why it might be a hit: It actually looks kind of funny.
Why it might tank: Will Ferrell movies haven't been doing as well lately.

Step Up 3D
Why it might be a hit: It's in "3D."
Why it might tank: 3D is sooo three months ago.

My Predictions:
The Other Guys: $26 million
Inception: $18
Step Up 3D: $14 million
Dinner for Schmucks: $12 million
Salt: $10 million
