Not to mention the expanding Best Picture nomineesMilkandThe Reader.

A tight race, indeed!

Complicating

matters, of course, is Sundays Steelers-Cardinals matchup, which

should depress movie grosses pretty substantially.

Anyway, heres what I

think we have in store.

Also involved are Neesons characters ex-wife

(Famke Janssen) and her rich new husband (Xander Berkeley).

From

writer-producer Luc Besson (The Professional, theTransporterseries).

Sounds like a classic guy movie which could have trouble playing on a classic guy weekend, opposite football.

In

2008, four different Asian horror remakes opened between $10 mil and

$13 mil.

3.Paul Blart: Mall Cop $12 millionKevin James keeps cruising along, naysayers be damned.

4.Gran Torino $11 millionClint Eastwood keeps cruising along, Oscars be damned.

So now I understand why its only

opening in a moderate 1,941 theaters.

And now I also have some doubts

about its prospects.

Okay, sports fans, its your turn to have a go at making some predictions!
