A few new movies hit theaters this weekend looking to take one last chomp out of the late Summer box office.

The Expendables
Why it might be a hit: Stallone in a 80s action nostalgia flick.
Why it might tank: Will an 80s throw back action flick work in today's world?

Eat, Pray, Love
Why it might be a hit: Julia Roberts hasn't starred in a movie in a while. Also, a famous book.
Why it might tank: I don't know if the trailer really grabs the audience.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Why it might be a hit: Has that kitsch web audience.
Why it might tank: Everyone else doesn't get it.

My Predictions:
The Expendables: $30 million
Eat, Pray, Love: $26 million
The Other Guys: $18 million
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: $14 million
Inception: $12 million
