“The Perfect Guy” Wins Box Office + Weekend’s Full Top 10

The Perfect Guy Box Office

(Sony)

The Perfect Guy is wooing moviegoers this weekend, and is expected to be number one at the box office.

The movie stars Sanaa Lathan as a woman who dumps her commitment-phobic boyfriend (Morris Chestnut) and begins dating the “perfect guy,” played by Michael Ealy. Of course, he’s anything but “perfect,” and is actually more like a psychopath. The romantic thriller is attracting both men and women alike for a predicted opening of $25.4 million.

Another new movie, the M. Night Shyamalan thriller The Visit, is likely to debut in second. The movie is on track to scare up ticket sales of $21.6 million. Last week’s unexpected chart-topper, the little-known Christian film War Room, is slipping into third place with a projected $7.4 million.

A Walk In The Woods, starring Robert Redford, is eyeing the number four spot with $4.9 million. Straight Outta Compton is probably going to drop down to fifth place, its lowest position on the Top 10 chart since its release. Adding a possible $3.9 million this time around would bring its cumulative total to more than $155 million.

In sixth may be Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation, which has the potential to bring in $3.8 million in its seventh week. With box office receipts of $2.8 million, No Escape would follow for number 7. It’s looking like The Transporter Refueled ($2.6 million), 90 Minutes In Heaven ($2.3 million), and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. ($1.7 million) would round out the Top 10. All figures are currently estimates, and Gossip Cop will have updates. TELL US: What are YOU seeing this weekend?
