A few new movies hit theaters this weekend.

The Town
Why it might be a hit: 91% so far on Rottentomatoes.
Why it might tank: The Town... ran out of names for a movie title?

Alpha and Omega
Why it might be a hit: I don't know why.
Why it might tank: Looks like a poorly marketed animated film.

Devil
Why it might be a hit: cranking up for the Halloween horror season.
Why it might tank: Well, it probably didn't cost a lot, so it might not tank... It mostly takes place in an elevator, how expensive can that be?

Easy A
Why it might be a hit: Teen comedy that's getting good reviews for a change.
Why it might tank: The commercials don't really make me want to see it.

My Predictions:
The Town: $24 million
Easy A: $15 million
Resident Evil: Afterlife: $12 million
Devil: $12 million
Alpha and Omega: $8 million
