'Super' Box Office Weekend 6/10 - 6/12

[Blu Titan]

Current Box Office Champ X-Men: First Class will try to withstand a strong challenge from J.J. Abrams' Super 8. Superhero movies usually suffer a +50% drop from the first to the second weekend. Assuming a strond hold (drop of only 40%), First class should take no more than $31M in its second weekend. Every Summer a movie comes along and becomes a "sleeper" hit, The Karate Kid 2010 comes to mind from last year. Some industry experts believe that Super 8 can become a box office hit, but it is a hard movie to gauge. Reviews have been mostly positive for Super 8 and there should be additional demand on Friday since kids will be out of school (at least in Miami ). Super 8 will have competition from another kid's movie Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer. Super 8 will come out on top with $35M, First Class $28M, and The Hangover II with $17M.
