Friday Numbers are in, and it looks like I underestimated the power of two old-school box office heavyweights. The Bucket List had a great Friday with $6.4 million, which should give the Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson comedy a very respectable $19 million weekend, which is good for #1. As for the rest of the openers, after a $6.2 million Friday, First Sunday looks headed for my prediction with $17 million through Sunday. The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything had a poor start, earning just $1.1 million on its first day. The swashbuckling vegetable film (there's a phrase I never thought I'd use...) should finish up with just about $4 million. And in news that totally delights me, Uwe Boll's latest film, In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, is flopping! It earned just under $1 million on Friday, which should give it a horrible $2.8 million weekend and a spot outside the Top 12. Moviegoers, I salute you.
