Can The Box Office Compete With Super Bowl?

Everybody knows that you don't open a male-driven film on Super Bowl weekend. And I mean everybody. So what's Fox thinking in deciding to go out with "Taken?" It's called taking a chance. It's also called too many movies, and too little room on the release calendar.

Most think "Taken" will open in the high teens, and perhaps cross the $20 million mark. It's harder to say how horror pic "The Uninvited" will do, but it good give "Taken" a run for its money.

Comments

Well there is only so much pre-game stuff to watch, well with Weds. broadcast of Inside the NFL there"s really nothing else to watch till kick-off. So ticket sales should be good on Friday and Saturday.
